It does not.
By default, it also does not include dispersion-repulsion terms
and cavitation free energy. These terms can be computed using
irep, idisp and icav keywords of $pcm group.

This is a bug in printout, thanks for reporting it.
It will be fixed in the next beta of Firefly v. 8.1.0

Note though that the line below:

 ELECTROSTATIC INTERACTION = 1/2(PB+PC) + 1/2PX + UNZ=...

contains correct numbers.


>Perhaps, It would be a good thing if the contributions to the TOTAL FREE ENERGY IN SOLVENT were explicitly documented in the Firefly manual... If this term really doesn't include the entropy contribution from the solute, then better write down this explicitly.

I agree.

Kind regards,
