 Dear all
 If I am to study the thermodynamics of certain organic solvent using DFT in
 condensed phase, is it appropriate to optimize the structures in gas phase and
 then use implicit solvent calculations or can I simply optimize the structures
 in implicit solvent calculations (e.g. using PCM). The package I intend to use
 is Gaussian 09. I would be very glad if anyone could point me to relevant
 literatures
 I thank you for your Help.
