actually, for standard PCM geometry optimization runs, you need to specify just two parameters:
RSOLV = the solvent radius, in Angstroms
EPS = the dielectric constant
This information can be easily found in the literature.
EPSINF is at present used only by TDHF+PCM and TDDFT+PCM frequency dependent NLO properties jobs, so it is not used for geometry optimization.
Values for TCE, VMOL, STEN, DSTEN, CMF need to be given only for the case ICAV=1.
