However, the calculation terminated abnormally with the following error message. Using symmetry in molecular cavity generation. AdVTs1: ISph= 839 is engulfed by JSph= 847 but Ae( 839) is not yet zero! Error termination via Lnk1e in /fs/home/app/g03c02/g03/l301.exe I found that there is a NOSYMMCAV keyword from Gaussian manual, which allows the calculation not imposing the molecular symmetry to the cavity. SymmCav is the default. I run a cpcm calulation by using NOSYMMCAV keyword. The calculation normally terminated. However, I found the following warning messages in the output. Warning! D(1802,1954)=0.40657557D+02 is big! D(1802,1802)=0.27113016D+02 D(1954,1954)=0.46253648D+02 Warning! D(1812,1963)=0.40657557D+02 is big!

D(1963,1963)=0.46253648D+02 D(1812,1812)=0.27113016D+02 Does anyone know whether the NOSYMMCAV is required in the solvent field calculation for the molecule with symmetry? Also, what are these warning messages corresponding to? Best regards, Sue
