We have determined 0 K heats of formation of CHn and SiHn (n=0–4) as well as the cations SiH+, SiH<sub>2</sub><sup> + </sup>, and SiH<sub>3</sub><sup> + </sup> using large atomic natural orbital basis sets and coupled cluster methods including all single, double, and (perturbatively) triple excitations [CCSD(T)]. Core-correlation effects on the bond dissociation energies have been explicitly evaluated. For the intermediate hydrides CHn and SiHn (n=1–3), heats of formation are determined from theoretical bond dissociation energies in two ways: using experimental heats of formation of the H and C (or Si) atoms; and using experimental heats of formation of the H atom and the parent hydrides CH4 (or SiH4). In principle, this procedure allows us to place rigorous upper and lower bounds on the heats of formation of the intermediate hydrides. Because our theoretically predicted atomization energies are already of high quality, estimation of remaining deficiencies in the one-particle basis sets can be obtained from extrapolation of observed trends in atomization energies upon basis set expansion. These extrapolated results are in outstanding agreement with experimental values where they are known to high accuracy. For the SiHn compounds, a serious problem occurs: our predicted atomization energy of SiH4 is larger than that obtained from experimental heats of formation for the silicon atom and silane. Thus either relativistic effects on the atomization energy of SiH4 are large, or the experimental heats of formation of Si and SiH4 are incompatible. Excepting the atomization energy of SiH4, and thus the heats of formation of Si and SiH4, none of our other SiHn thermochemical predictions (properly interpreted) are clearly incompatible with experiment. Furthermore, our theoretical predictions are again in outstanding agreement with experimental determinations that are most certain.
