Dear Atila,

The error you see is raised because Antechamber is trying to run a QM calculation to generate AM1-BCC charges for your compound. However, the QM calculation is failing to converge, even after 100 steps.

The first thing you should do is to check the initial structure. My guess is that, most likely, the initial structure is bad. How was it generated? Maybe you could consider a fast MM minimization (on any program you like) before running a QM calculation with it.
