Running COSMO on NWChem, gathering energies for reaction coordinates

The driver input block is for geometry optimization only. I.e., increasing the number of iterations there tells the code to run more geometry optimization steps. You're not doing a geometry optimization so this won't do you any good.

By default the scf energy calculation has a maximum of 20 (See: http://nwchemgit.github.io/index.php/Release61:Hartree-Fock_Theory_for_Molecules#MAXITER_--_... ). It sounds like the SCF energy calculation for each numerical hessian step is not converging.

Your input decks do not have a geometry so I cannot try to run your cases to check.
