CCL: error while optimizing a geometry



Hi Hemlata,
Personally I think you should include a little more details about your calculations, e.g. computational methods and molecular system.
But I will suggest you try geometry optimization at low level of theory on your molecule first and then refine the geometry at higher level of theory.
I wish you good luck in your research.

Subject: CCL: error while optimizing a geometry

Hi everyone

I am stuck with a problem while optimizing a geometry
Everytime I see in the log file "Rare condition: small coeff for last iteration" for a number of times and the at the end it shows "Convergence failure" and the job terminates. I don't know what to do. Please help me out

Thanking you all

With regards
Hemlata
