to converge SCF, use the following option

 $SCF diitol=1d4 $END

This loosens tolerance for DIIS space truncation (the default diitol is 1d2)
and helps converge SCF in your case. This does not help getting
meaningful results though as NBO code wrongly divides your system
into 8 fragments:

 1. Ru(+2)     
 2. C12H6N2O4(-6) 
 3. O(-2)      
 4. C10H14(+2) 
 5. H(+)       
 6. H(+)       
 7. H(+)       
 8. H(+)       

and this the real source of problems, including the problems with SCF convergence.
