-1 See the bug fixes on the R.E.D. web site.
    F should be Fe ? right ?

-2 For geometry optimization of iron complexes, replace

#P hf/6-31G* Opt=(VTight,CalcFC) Freq SCF(Conver=8) Test
    by
#P b3lyp/6-31G* Opt Test
    too see how goes the geometry optimization step...

Once converged, you might try to re-run the job using
b3lyp/6-31G* Opt=(Tight) Freq SCF(Conver=8) Test
