"T(0) DIIS level shift : 0.20D+00" indicates you set the level shift for the CCSD amplitude solver properly.

I find that CCSD does not always converge with diffuse basis sets. This is due to unfortunate realities of numerical linear algebra. I wish I could give you a better answer than this.


Thank you Jhammond, I also found CCSD(T) do not always converge at large basis sets. My problem is trying to find CBS limit for a system, and I am pretty much stuck at this point.

Another thing I noticed is, at each DIIS step, the energy decreases a little bit (very small, maybe 10-9 Hartree). So will it make sense if I make the maxiter in SCF really large and use DIIS to decrease the residuum?

Thank you very much
