High-accuracy composite wave function methods like Weizmann-4 (W4) theory, high-accuracy extrapolated ab initio thermochemistry (HEAT), and the Feller-Peterson-Dixon (FPD) approach enable sub-kJ/mol accuracy in gas-phase thermochemical properties. Their biggest computational bottleneck is the evaluation of the valence post-CCSD(T) correction term. We demonstrate here, for the W4-17 thermochemistry benchmark and subsets thereof, that the Λ coupled-cluster expansion converges more rapidly and smoothly than the regular coupled-cluster series. By means of CCSDT(Q) Λ and CCSDTQ(5) Λ , we can considerably (up to an order of magnitude) accelerate W4- and W4.3-type calculations without loss in accuracy, leading to the W4Λ and W4.3Λ computational thermochemistry protocols.
