The performance of two recent ab initio computational thermochemistry schemes, W1 and W2 theory [J.M.L. Martin and G. de Oliveira, J. Chem. Phys. 111, 1843 (1999)], is assessed for an enlarged sample of thermochemical data consisting of the ionization potentials and electron affinities in the G2-1 and G2-2 sets, as well as the heats of formation in the G2-1 and a subset of the G2-2 set. We find...
