 Iridium!
 
   Number of steps in this run= 366 maximum allowed number of steps= 366.
 
 Probably more steps needed

 Really the end of your log file?
 My logfile states:
  "Standard basis: 3-21G (6D, 7F)
  3-21G basis sets are only available up to Xe."
 So you are requesting the 3-21G basis set but Iridium is not included.
 Check the manual http://www.gaussian.com/g_tech/g_ur/m_basis_sets.htm
 
So use an appropriate basis set, preferable with an ECP. They are built-in or specified explicitly with the gen keyword. Do not mix pure and cartesian functions. Probably you will get a better geometry and starting point of the wavefunction. Than increase basis set size and level of theory of the calculation.
 Good luck,
