Is it possible to make manually the hydrogen bond between the carboxylate
and the hydroxyl group with a reasonable O---O distance (around 2.7-2.8 Angs)?
Any way, generally speaking, in such a system, the geometry optimisation
usually brings ediverged structure', as you experienced. The solution of
this problem may be due to your purpose (i.e. what you want with this system).
If there are no objections, please show us the coordinates data of your system,
and you will receive more specific advice.
