You can read the file "Thermo" in Gaussian webpa= ge as an introduction, and then looking at szabo=B4s reference book cited t= here.

But, being more specific DG =3D DH - TDS ; DS =3D = (DH - DG) / T

Where DX =3D Xtransition state - Xreactant.
<= br>
T =3D temperature (Kelvin)

You got the= enthalpy and the free energy from the output file.

Be careful with the units, (hartrees).
