> -100.426656 : FINAL ENERGY (Hartree)

is this energy computed for the gas phase i.e. with no PCM at all?

All the best,
Alex

>in the following you can find the values and their description. The total G as reported by FF does't include electronic part so I have added final energy to make the free energy that could be compared with the free energy reported by FF in PCM calculations.

>>Dear David,

>>how exactly were the numbers below obtained?

>>>Hi

>>>As a test to understand how Firefly does compute and consider solvent effects the free energy of HF diatomic molecule has been calculated in gaseous state, water, and benzene to compare the results.

>>>free energy of HF (gaseous) : -100.426656 - 18.394/2625.5 = -100.433662 H
>>>free energy of HF (water): -100.433893 H
>>>free energy of HF (benzene): -100.430009 H

>>>we expected a larger difference between the values in water and benzene since HF is a highly polar molecule. I have attached the input/output files and I appreciate any comment to help us how to improve the results if it looks unwise in this state. Many Thanks
