Charge and spin need to be specified only in the &qmmm namelist, see the error message:
SANDER BOMB in subroutine get_namelist (qm2_extern_orc_module)
The charge and spin keywords are deprecated
Please specify charge (qmcharge) and spin multiplicity (spin) in the &qmmm namelist.
All the best,
Andy

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.

How to solve this problem?
Looking forward to hear your help.

Subject: Re: [AMBER] AMBER/ORCA for QM/MM
The interface will work with Orca versions 3 (e.g. 3.0.3) and 4 (e.g. 4.0.2). See also previous messages on this mailing list
http://archive.ambermd.org/201707/0486.html
Link atoms work exactly as with the built-in semiempirical and DFTB methods. They will be added automatically if your QM/MM boundary crosses covalent bonds. Make sure to cut only across single bonds and not across polar bonds, i.e. C-C single bonds typically are appropriate. See also the Amber manual.
All the best,
Andy

Hi,
I want to use AMBER/ORCA to achieve QM/MM calculations.
Which version of ORCA program is supported by AMBER16?
For tutorial I only find one in which boundaries of QM an MM atoms are not involved.
How to deal with the QM-MM boundary if they are linked via covalent bonds?
Looking forward to hear your reply.
