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

At the risk of being puckish, rtfm.
 
DMF is listed in the Gaussian manual.  The following link contains the information you need:

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
