a

The total Gibbs free energy of a molecular species is the gas phase energy calculated at the B3LYP/6-31+G*//B3LYP/6-31+G* level with the thermal corrections to the Gibbs free energy at the B3LYP/6-31+G* level plus the solvent shift calculated with a solvation model (SVPE, PCM, IEFPCM, or COSMO) at the HF/6-31+G* level.
