IRC calculation in gaussian 16 ends abnormally!

Hello,

I'm trying to perform an IRC calculation in Gaussian 16. IRC in the forward direction ran successfully but the calculation ended abnormally for the backward direction.

My route section reads:
#p irc=(calcfc,recorrect=never,maxpoints=12,recalc=4) um06l/gen geom=connectivity scf=xqc Integral(Grid=UltraFineGrid) NoSymmetry

The last few line of the output file is as follows:

No NMR shielding tensors so no spin-rotation constants.

(Enter /apps/scratch/compile/g16/l9999.exe)

This type of calculation cannot be archived.

I cannot figure out what went wrong. Can someone please suggest what caused the error and how to get rid of it!

Re: IRC calculation in gaussian 16 ends abnormally!

There is no adequate information to figure out the reason. It is best to provide downloading link of the output file.

By the way, using recorrect=never is highly deprecated. Using LQA instead is recommended.
