Hi Akhilesh,
3D-RISM can certainly be used to calculate solvation free energies of ions. To get a sense of the accuracy you can expect, please see
Johnson, J. et al. Small molecule hydration energy and entropy from 3D-RISM. J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 28, 344002 (2016).
You can use the settings from the paper or, if you want better computational performance, I recommend experimenting with the ljTolerance setting that we have added since that paper. It should allow you to reduce the size of the solvation box. Recommendations are in the Amber manual. If you are dealing with larger molecules, you can also look at treecode parameters, but these won’t make much difference unless your solute has at least a few hundred atoms.

Is it possible to account for these in FEW workflow currently? Or Is there any other easier way to calculate solvation free energy for charged ligands ( like 3D-RISM-PSE approach)?
