For a series of first row diatomic molecules, quadrupole moments obtained from restricted Hartree-Fock level calculations with various basis sets are compared with exact values obtained from numerical solution of the Hartree Fock equations.
Abstract
For a series of first row diatomic molecules, quadrupole moments obtained from restricted Hartree-Fock level calculations with various basis sets are compared with exact values obtained from numerical solution of the Hartree-Fock equations. Significant basis set errors are frequently observed, even with large and/or exponent optimized basis sets. Estimates of the correlation errors in the quadrupole moments lead to the conclusion that basis set error is probably just as serious as correlation error for most molecular quadrupole moment calculations.

Molecular multipole moments

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of available information on molecular quadrupole and higher moments is presented and a theorem is proved which shows that only one independent scalar quantity is required to determine a molecular electric multipole tensor of rank p for molecules with an n-fold axis of symmetry where p < n.

Gaussian Basis Sets for Molecular Calculations

Abstract: In the following chapters the electronic structure of molecules will be discussed and the techniques of electronic structure calculations presented. Without exception the molecular electronic wave functions will be expanded in some convenient, but physically motivated, set of one-electron functions. Since the computational effort strongly depends on the number of expansion functions (see, e.g., the following chapters), the set of functions must be limited as far as possible without adversely affecting the accuracy of the wave functions. This chapter will discuss the choice of such functions for molecular calculations.
