What keywords I must use in the input to define the parameters for a new generic solvent in Gaussian?

03 March 2017 0 4K Report

I need to add a new solvent in Gaussian for SMD solvation model. What keywords I can use to define the parameters for the new solvent such as: hydrogen bond donor ability, ionizing power, polarity, pka etc
