So without any other info I would say your optimization has taken a step to a geometry where the rhf is struggling to converge. Inspection of your log file (not the out file) may be helpful. Perhaps you could attach your input file? Note that when correlating the core electrons you should change your basis set to one that is designed for this purpose, e.g., cc-pCVTZ or cc-pwCVTZ.</div><div><br></div><div>regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Kirk</div><div><br><div><div>On Feb 27, 2010, at 10:10 AM, Wafaa Fawzy wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div class="Section1"><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">I ran optimization calculations that converged without the core electrons being correlated.
