CCL:G: How To Specify DMF Solvent In Gaussian Input



Hi,
 This answer may be annoying, but you could try acetonitrile (SCRF=(PCM,CH3CN)).
 I have found that it is a good substitute for DMF. Else, you will need to
 collect the solvent parameters for DMF from another program or from the
 literature.
 Best of Luck

 Dear CClers
         I need to run a PCM calculation with dimethylformamide DMF) as the
 solvent. I was trying to specify DMF using the PCM model in Gaussian which is
 not mentioned in the calculation part of the Gauss View. Does anyone know how to
 specify DMF solvent in Gaussian input? Kindly help me.
 Thanks in advance
