1 You should ensure that the task has successfully finished
2 Note that .chk file is platform and version dependent. For example, it is impossible to use formchk in Windows version of Gaussian to convert .chk file generated by Linux Gaussian, it is also impossible to use e.g. formchk in G16 to convert .chk file yielded by G09.

Dear Professor Tian Lu,
You are completely right, i just verified the LOG file, my colleague did the calculation using gaussian 16 and send me the results. I didn't know this information. thank you professor.
But in purpose to generate the wfn file, we use the chk file, how can i generate this file ? can we use the LOG file ?


Sincerely

It's (generally) not possible to get the wavefunction from the log file as the required information are not there. Chk files are version dependent, but fchk files are (generally) not. Just let your colleague convert the chk file to fchk file on his computer using the corresponding formchk program.
