The jobs have not ended although two months have passed, and using the #P G96PW91/gen # opt=calcfc pseudo=read scf=xqc method, I am unable to reach an optimized lattice for the 8 atom system. Are there other methods than G96PW91 that give convergence within a reasonable time? These jobs have been re-batched after each divergence, and seem not to converge.

Error termination via Lnk1e in C:\G09W\l502.exe. i use the keyword scf(maxcycle)=1000 to solve the problem the result was it took more and more time and give the same error. important not :- this error occur in the anion file while the cation file for the same molecule terminated normally. Any Help???????? Regards, Sayed
