CCL:G: Solvent-corrected Gibbs free energies



 Sent to CCL by: Arne Dieckmann [adieckma]=[googlemail.com]
 Dear Sue,
 here is a link to the Gaussian 03 User Reference Guide answering your question:
 http://www.inc.bme.hu/common/g03_man/g_ur/k_scrf.htm
 You have to use the total free energy in solution with all non-electrostatic
 terms.
 Cheers,
 Arne

 [adieckma###googlemail.com]<BR>Hi Sue, <BR><BR>the two methods
 you are describing are exactly the same, as you are only changing the order in
 which different quantities are added. <BR><BR><BR>Cheers,

 Dear CCL users,<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; Could someone help me with
 the following question?<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; If I want to
 calculate the solvent-corrected Gibbs free energies of the molecules based on
 the gas-phase optimized geometry usinf gaussian 03. Which of the following
 methods is more appropriate?<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt;&gt; From
 the vibrational frequency calculation of the gas-phase optimized structure, I
 could obtain the thermal correction to Gibbs Free Energy<BR>&gt;
 <BR>&gt;&gt; From the single-point PCM calculation, I could obtain
 the total free
 > energy in solution: with all non electrostatic terms as well as
 solvent-phase electronic energies (The energy value associated with
 SCF(Done))<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; (1) The solvent-corrected Gibbs
 free energies = the total free energy in solution + thermal correction to Gibbs
 Free Energy<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; Or<BR>&gt;
 <BR>&gt; (2) The solvent-corrected Gibbs free energies = gas-phase
 Gibbs free energies + (solvent-phase electronic energies&nbsp; - gas-phase
 electronic energies)<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; Thank you very much
 for your kind help.<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; Best
 regards,<BR>&gt; Sue&gt;
