I agree with @haneug here. Given the accuracy range of the ALPB method in conjunction with the xTB Hamiltonian, choosing a solvent with a similar DEC is a reasonable assumption. Regarding your question, there is a ddCOSMO implementation in xTB, which can be invoked with "--cosmo DEC". However, accuracy-wise, I would recommend choosing the ALPB method instead. |

Hello,
Thanks for developing such a great software.
I'm trying to use xTB in electrolyte system, especially with EC/DEC solvent.
However, it seems that implicit solvation methods implemented in xtb provides limited range of solvents.
Is there a way to specify arbitrary solvent, as in PCM method (ex. with dielectric constant)?
If not, is there any plan to implement other solvation methods, for example, SMD or PCM?
It would greatly help researchers in variety of fields.
