Please post your input file and I'll try to figure it out. This may be a pathological case though.

Do you think that 5e-6 is to sloppy of convergence for this problem btw?


Thank you for your reply, please see below for my input deck,

I did not include basis set and ecp in my input because it is very long. The basis I used is cc-pvtz for O, C and H and pp-cc-pvtz for Br.

I don't think 5e-6 is bad for this case (i have set it to be 4-e6 to match some other cases) but I am just wondering if there is some ways to make the converge a bit more efficient or changing the convergence criteria is the only way.

Thank you very much for your kind help
