Optimization with field

Hello everyone, I have a problem with optimization with Gaussian with electric field
i want to get the wavefunction with the imput that is below but in the file .log don't converge the parameter maximum force:


Maximum Force                0.001404     0.000450     NO
RMS     Force                    0.000239     0.000300     YES
Maximum Displacement     0.001001     0.001800     YES
RMS     Displacement         0.000265     0.001200     YES

i compute a optimization with AM1 and after that reoptimize with wb97x and finally i tried to carry on the optimization with electric field

can somebody help me?


Imput

Re: Optimization with field

Remove "=z-matrix", usually it hurts geometry convergence.

It it still doesn't converge, use opt(gdiis,maxstep=5,notrust), this keywords is useful in suppressing possible oscillating behavior.

By the way, wb97XD is a much better choice than wb97X for common cases. I employed this functional in optimizing cyclo[18]carbon under external field in my recent work ChemPhysChem 2021, 22, 386 –395 (doi.org/10.1002/cphc.202000903)
