Hi,

I'm running Gaussian 16 (rev. C).  Does anyone know if it is possible to use the B3LYP + D3 functional in Gaussian?  I don't see it listed in the documentation ( https://gaussian.com/dft/ ) as a built-in method.  I tried, for example: 

# Opt B3LYPD3/6-31G(d,p)

and 

# Opt B3LYP+D3/6-31G(d,p)

but Gaussian gives me syntax errors.  Does anyone know how to use the B3LYP + D3 functional in Gaussian?

Thanks,
Andrew
