Hi Marcella,

Thanks for your response. 

I tried including MULTIPLE_SUBSYS T in the MULTIPLE_FORCE_EVALS section and 
unfortunately that gives me the same error as before. 

I have also tried varying the size of my QM region. This system has 4 
cations and 4 cations in it with an overall charge of 0. I’ve tried having 
my QM region as;

-              -   1 cation (Charge 1)

-              -   1 cation + 1 anion (Charge 0)

These unfortunately produce similar errors to above.

Kind regards,
Daniel
