I've had similar issues with convergence on, for instance a Ni3F2(OH)4 structure related to layered Ni(OH)2. What functional would you suggest for that?

Dear John,

Currently a known bug of gradients from hybrid functionals provides
what you need. Try eg. B3LYP.
(If you are aiming at it from a theoretical point of view, i would
suggest weakly bonded, eg. vdW systems
or -to the contrary- strongly bonded systems where bond length changes
the type of bonding. The former is
a low gradient problem, the latter is coming from a perturbed chemical bonding.)

HTH,

Dear all,

I'm interested in systems where SCF has trouble converging to self consistency 
and instead keeps fluctuating. In particular I would really like any input 
files of such systems.

Best Regards,
John McFarland
