CCL:G: implicit solvation

 Sent to CCL by: Arne Dieckmann [adieckma ~ googlemail.com]
 Dear Dave,
 I am aware of that. However, as I understand it frequency calculations should be
 done in vacuum as the equations are derived from an ideal gas assumption. Am I
 wrong here? And what would be the energy I need to use from the PCM calculation?
 Cheers,
 Arne

 Afterwards, I would like to apply thermal corrections from gas phase
 calculations to obtain free energy differences of certain molecules. The
 Gaussian output contains several energy values when using implicit solvation,
 e.g. "After PCM corrections, the SCF energy is  -193.093761350" and
 "Total free energy in solution with all non electrostatic terms".
 Which one would I use to add the correction for free energy?
