It's easy if you use one of the multi-step methods
(G3, CBS-Q, etc.):
a Gibbs free energy function (in hartrees) is part of the final output.
Otherwise, thermodynamic data can be obtained from a freq calculation;
the entropy and the thermal energy are in the section after the
frequencies table.

Hi,
How to calculate the Gibb's free energy for a molecule using gaussian
software ?
Sincerely,
