Hi Alessandro,
following Megha's post, there is indeed a possibility to generate this data
using TAMkin, a python-based post-processing code developed in the groups
of van Spetbroeck and Verstraelen at Ghent University.
Here is a link: http://molmod.github.io/tamkin/
The tool requires output from a vibrational analysis plus forces, and
should then yield the desired thermochemical information, also for the
solid-state. The program is easy to use, and quite intuitive.
However, there may be issues due to large number of low-energy vibrations
present in extended (solid-state) systems, hence introducing notable errors
into the vibrational entropic term, but this can in principle
be overcome by performing a partial hessian vibrational analysis (PHVA).In
my own experience, I have seen quite significant differences between
(reaction) energies obtained from simple SCF energies and Free Energies,
without restricting the analysis to PVHA. However, this is currently
something I am trying to get my head around myself, so I can't give you
much advice on this at the moment.
Hope this helps
Tobias
