51. 3CN in water using geometries optimized in solution using the SCI - PCM and UAHF models (HF/6-31G(d) level). The differences between the results with and without geometry optimization in solution were around 0.9 kcal/ mol (more negative if geometry was reoptimized in solution). Negligible differences were found between the results obtained after geometry optimization with the SCI-PCM and UAHF algorithms.
