Accuracy of Prediction of Entropy (Home)

The entropy of gas-phase systems can be predicted using the calculated vibrational frequencies and moments of inertia and the translational contributions. For monatomic species, only translational contributions were used.  All reference data is taken from the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics.
 

Statistics for the set of 120 species

Average signed error:

  2.25 0.80*

Average unsigned error: 

  3.16 1.75*

Root mean square error:

  7.84 2.83*

*:Excluding the three worst results

Each of the PM6 results given below was generated by doing two calculations.  First, the geometry was optimized, then a THERMO calculation was done.  These calculations were done in a single run, with the data set having the form:

<keywords: none used>
<Name of species>
<Blank>
<Z-matrix: For examples, see: ref-data>
<Blank line>
