Dear Prof. Gerald Monard,

Thank you for answer me.

The system is the TS1 crystal structure of clathrate cage of bromine and
water, I have attached the geometry input files. When I am trying to run
the minimisation (1000 steps) the calculation ends but it has a message
like this in two steps (972 and 973):

SEBOMD: iter=997975 E(SCF)= -70049.0660680099 dee= -0.2878462845
dpmax= 1.0305895468 efermi= 3.7252108145
SEBOMD: iter=998976 E(SCF)= -70048.7782219481 dee= 0.2878460619
dpmax= -1.0305895405 efermi= 3.6570499426
SEBOMD: iter=999977 E(SCF)= -70049.0660680132 dee= -0.2878460651
dpmax= 1.0305895405 efermi= 3.7252085835
SEBOMD: iter=***978 E(SCF)= -70048.7782217227 dee= 0.2878462905
dpmax= -1.0305895468 efermi= 3.6570499421

 no convergence in scf calculation
 SEBOMD FINAL QUANTITIES:
 -----------------
 NUMBER OF FULLY DIAGONALIZED SUBSYSTEMS: 192
 NUMBER OF FROZEN SUBSYSTEMS: 0
 NUMBER OF SCF CALCULATIONS = 1
 NUMBER OF DIAGONALIZATIONS = 1000

 ELECTRONIC ENERGY = -2409141.91767068 EV
 CORE-CORE REPULSIONS = 2339049.73230551 EV
 TOTAL ENERGY = -70092.18536517 EV
 HEAT OF FORMATION = -10578.15445312 KCAL/MOL
 VIRIAL = -10125.33760815
 FERMI ENERGY = 3.72521081 EV


I don't know if there is a problem with de density matrix convergence, I
have tried using the flag tight_p_conv = 1 but I have the same problem.


Thank you again.

Best regards
