Dear everyone,

 Hello,

 Excuse me, I have a question of the definition of second moment in
molpro. From the manual

http://www.molpro.net/info/current/doc/manual/node68.html#sec:gexpec
SM      1       XX, YY, ZZ, XY, XZ, YZ  second moments

Seems the diagonal element is a positive definite quantity, while the
example on water molecule is negative

http://www.molpro.net/info/current/doc/manual/node69.html
 METHODS     DIP           SMXX          SMYY          SMZZ
 HF        0.82747571   -5.30079792   -3.01408114   -4.20611391

Does the SM mean \sum_I Z_I R_I^2 - \sum_i r_i^2  or  (\sum_I Z_I R_I
- \sum_i r_i)^2 that counts both nuclei and electron?

Thank you very much
Best regards
