I have been performing isodesmic reaction calculations and one of my molecules is Fluoroform. It has already been optimized and its frequencies checked at the HF level of theory. However, when I went to calculate the energy at B3LYP/6‐311+G(3df,2p) I received an error. I have isolated my error to the route section.
Below is my input file:
#T B3LYP/6‐311+G(3df,2p) Temperature =0

Additionally, here is the error output Gaussian prints on termination:
