How big is your system? Are you doing optimization or only energy correction? Sometimes using Cartesian coordinates also may give you problem. Use of z-coordinates is recommended. Share me the input and out file, I will look into and try to help you. Tarun Roy
Thank you, Rabu Ranjan Chiangmai, for your response. Recently I have been working on small hydrocarbon-based PAHs containing 18 atoms. Previously I have used CFOUR for coupled cluster calculations. I want to perform these jobs in Gaussian because, in CFOUR, it takes too long (more than one month) to finish a single job. I want to optimize the geometry and calculate frequency in Gaussian 09 software.
Optimizing the structure at CCSD level in Gaussian also will take a lot of time. Please check is optimization necessary or single point will be enough??
CCSD(T) is expensive for time, just in input file write "#P CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ (keywords), how lang finish this task use CCSD(T) and set of basis cc-PVTZ usually dependent on your molecular system (big, small or middle).
