The DFT with 6-311G dp(++) and ab initio give optimized structure with no negative frequency but the chlorine atom got elongated and became unbonded. However, GO with semi-empirical PM 6 does not give such elongation and un-bonded chlorine is not observed, i.e. normal result obtained. I request explanation and a suggestion to overcome this problem.

But the calculations are getting killed without any errors for some of my dimers (dimers are composed of similar monomers). All are terminated when the calculations proceeds to ITERATION. The monomer is a Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbon with 42 carbons. The similar molecule substituted with 4 Nitrogen successfully completed the SAPT(0) calculation for its dimer. Please help.
