Which are the possible methods to calculate the Gibbs energy using geometries optimized in gas phase? The calculation of frequencies, + PCM, using these geometry is the most correct one? Or taking the value for the free energy included in the PCM calculation is also valid? And correcting the gas phase Gibbs energy by the free energy of the PCM calculation minus the energy also in PCM? Hoping your comments, Albert
