prog_rrho |

temperature |
Temperature (in Kelvin) used for the Boltzmann evaluations. |
trange |
temperature range which is used to calculate free energies at different temperatures (considered in G_mRRHO and δG_solv[only COSMO-RS]). The temperature range will only be evaluated if multitemp is set to on. |

Option to consider /not consider thermostatistical contributions. |
consider_sym |
Option to consider symmetry in the thermostatistical contribution (only xtb) |

func |
functional used in part1 (prescreening) and part2 (optimization) |
basis |
basis set used in combination with func in part1 (prescreening) and part2 (optimization). If basis is set to automatic the basis set is chosen internally. |
maxthreads |
Used for parallel calculation. Maxthreads determines the number of independent calculations running in parallel. E.g. resulting in 4 independent single-point /optimization calculations. |
