Optimization of TM complex with explicit water molecules. What are the usual necessary controls in the input file for g09?

I am trying to optimize a transition metal complex with a few (3-4) solvent (H2O) molecules around it. What are the usual input control that will not give me a RMS Displacement of ~ 0.00000. My...

What could be the best implicit solvation method to use in calculation solvation free energy of TM complexes in GAMESS-US?

I already have done calculations using the default PCM method in gamess and I am trying to look at how the values change when using other methods that are proven to have better results.

Any thoughts about the accuracy of Gaussian Composite methods (G1,G2,G3,G4) when applied to calculation of ionization potential of TM complexes?

I'm thinking of using high level ab initio methods in calculating the ionization energy of first row transition metal complex. I am also concerned by the possible computational resources that...

What are possible reasons why bp86 functional performs poorly in the calculation of adiabatic ionization energy for transition metal?

The calculation was carried out at bp86/cc-pVTZ//bp86/6-31g(d). From my readings some studies have reported that bp86 performs better compared to b3lyp but my results showed that bp86 is inferior...
