Abstrakt: Obtaining sub-chemical accuracy (1 kJ mol−1) for reaction energies of medium-sized gas-phase molecules is a longstanding challenge in the field of thermochemical modeling. The perturbative triples correction to coupled-cluster single double triple [CCSD(T)] constitutes an important component of all high-accuracy composite model chemistries that obtain this accuracy but can be a roadblock in the calculation of medium to large systems due to its O ( N 7 ) scaling, particularly in HEAT-like model chemistries that eschew separation of core and valence correlation. This study extends the work of Lesiuk [J. Chem. Phys. 156, 064103 (2022)] with new approximate methods and assesses the accuracy of five different approximations of (T) in the context of a subset of molecules selected from the W4-17 dataset. It is demonstrated that all of these approximate methods can achieve sub-0.1 kJ mol−1 accuracy with respect to canonical, density-fitted (T) contributions with a modest number of projectors. The approximation labeled Z ̃ T appears to offer the best trade-off between cost and accuracy and shows significant promise in an order-of-magnitude reduction in the computational cost of the CCSD(T) component of high-accuracy model chemistries.
