NWChem 6.6 contains a bug that makes the (T) part crash when the run is oversubscribed (i.e. you are using too many processors). Please just four processors as in the example below
#!/bin/bash -l
SBATCH -J a1_avtz
SBATCH -C haswell
SBATCH -p regular
SBATCH -N 1
SBATCH -t 05:00:00
SBATCH -o Sc.o%j
SBATCH --mail-type=BEGIN,END,FAIL
SBATCH --mail-user=nothez@mail.com
module load nwchem
srun -n 4 nwchem Sc.nw >& Sc.out 


Dear Edoapra,

I've try to re-run the jobs with your new TCE section and new run file.
It works for Sc quartet state, but doesn't for any other spin state and other transition metals.

usually it ends up with the error like that, this particular one is for neutral Sc (sextet) atom:

These jobs are only a single point energy calculations of bare one atom.
What about the optimization or frequency calculation for similar but bigger systems, like MCl or MCl3?
Is it possible to use more then 4 cpu's for ROHF approximation with CCSD(T) method ?

Could you help me and provide me the all-purpose TCE section and run-script for OPT and FREQ jobs also?

Thank you,
best wishes
