I now made a program obthermo that works like this: % obthermo methane-g3-298.log obthermo - extract thermochemistry data from quantum chemistry logfiles Found symmetry number 1 in methane-g3-298.log DeltaHform(0K) -16.2427 kcal/mol DeltaHform(298.149K) -18.1592 kcal/mol DeltaSform(298.149K) -14.5067 cal/mol K DeltaGform(298.149K) -13.834 kcal/mol S0(298.149K) 49.3317 cal/mol K
However, the symmetry number is wrong, therefore: % obthermo -symm 12 methane-g3-298.log obthermo - extract thermochemistry data from quantum chemistry logfiles Found symmetry number 1 in methane-g3-298.log Changing symmetry number to 12 Applying rotational entropy correction Srot -4.93802 Applying correction to free energy T Srot DeltaHform(0K) -16.2427 kcal/mol DeltaHform(298.149K) -18.1592 kcal/mol DeltaSform(298.149K) -19.4448 cal/mol K DeltaGform(298.149K) -15.3063 kcal/mol S0(298.149K) 44.3937 cal/mol K That seems to work, so I will prepare a patch for this. However it would be extremely helpful if someone can give me a pointer as to how to use OB to get the symmetry number!
