Thermochemistry and solvation-energy parsing gaps (Gaussian, NWChem) #176
Gaussian 16/09: ZPE, thermal energy, H, T·S, G and the temperature from a frequency run, in the keys ORCA uses. Checked against real g16 water outputs (HF/STO-3G, B3LYP/6-31G(d), SMD water). The G09 scripts are copies of the G16 ones, not run on a G09 output.
NWChem: ZPE, thermal energy, H, T·S, G read from the output file (the ecce_print trace has none of them); checked on a real scf freq run. NWChem prints corrections only; they are added to the energy printed after the Hessian.
MOPAC prints no Gibbs energy (checked with PM7 FORCE THERMO); unchanged.
Solvation: g16 and ORCA print no gas-phase total in an SMD/PCM run, so one job cannot give ΔG_solv. Two properties: ESOLV (E_sol − E_gas) where both are printed, so far NWChem COSMO; ESOLVCDS, the SMD cavity-dispersion term, for g16 and ORCA. ΔG_solv for g16/ORCA needs a gas-phase run beside the solvated one (a two-calculation result, see Multi-calculation results: an energy table and reaction/voltage profile across a project #175).
Not done: ORCA's CPCM dielectric term.
