i have tried to optimize a CoO cluster using B3LYP_TZVPP. even though i have tried the suggestion in the output file, i still couldn't make SCF converged: SCF converge for first 3 steps but failed after that.

the input file is

Could you please give me some suggestion what should i do to converge SCF?

Many thanks,
