Abstract The electric dipole, quadrupole, octopole and hexadecapole moment of carbon monoxide has been obtained from finite-field SCF and Moeller-Plesset perturbation theory calculations. The resulting values for the octopole and hexadecapole moments of CO(X1 Σ+ ) are 3.59 eao3 and - 9.01 eao4 respectively

Electric multipole moments and static polarizabilities are reported for HCO+ and NNH+ . Both molecular ions are of great importance to interstellar matter chemistry. All properties were calculated from the energy of the molecule in the presence of distant electric charges. Electron correlation effects were taken into account via SDQ-MPPT(4), fourth-order Møller-Plesset Perturbation Theory with single, double and quadrupole substitutions from the reference SCF wavefunction. With the exception of the dipole moment, values for the other properties studied in this work appear in the literature for the first time. The dipole moment (relative to the centre of mass) and the axial and perpendicular components of the dipole polarizability are 1.515 ea0, 13.39 and 6.88 e2a2Eh+1 respectively for HCO+ and 1.328 ea0, 13.81 and 5.70 e2a20Eh-1 for NNH+ .
