I have a very big molecule and I want to optimize the molecule with two dihedral angles being optimized within a certain range. I am using opt=modredundant method in Gaussian 16, Revision B.01.

After some search, I have used the input command as follows:

# opt=modredundant cam-b3lyp/genecp scrf=(iefpcm,solvent=dichloromethane) geom=connectivity scf=(xqc,maxcycle=1200)

.

But this method did not work out. It shows the error mentioned below:

The following ModRedundant input section has been read:

D * 103 220 * B

Wanted an end-of-line for input.

Found a floating point number as input.

91 103 220 208 F -0.5 -2.0

?

Error termination via Lnk1e in /opt/Gaussian/g16_expt/g16/l101.exe

Please suggest me how to optimize my molecule by restraining the desired dihedral angles to be optimized within the mentioned range.
