<div dir="ltr">Hi, I am wondering how to calculate octupole moments at the CCSD(T) level of theory via the finite field method? I found an example which explicitly does this for quadrupole moments (snippet below), but could not find anything for octupole moments. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!<div>
