SCF residual greater than 1d-2 error for Raman calculation


Click here for full thread
Clicked A Few Times
Hello, I am attempting to calculate a Raman spectra for various metal complexes but I am receiving an error at the start of the CPHF module where the SCF residual is greater than 1d-2. I am using the 6.8.1 branch of NWChem and I have attempted to make the convergence criterion for the SCF cycle tighter as well as used a fragment approach, but I have not been successful sadly. Does anyone have any recommendations for me or can point me to the source of this error?

Below is my input,
