Abstract: Buckingham expansion is important for understanding molecular multipoles and (hyper)polarizabilities. In this study, we give a complete derivation of Buckingham expansion in the traced form using successive Taylor series. Based on such derivation, a general Buckingham expansion in the traced form is proposed, and from which numerical calculations with finite field method of high accuracy can be achieved. The transformations from the traced multipoles and multipole-multipole polarizabilities to the corresponding traceless counterparts are realized with an auxiliary traced electric field gradient. The applications of the finite field method in this study show good agreements with previous theoretical calculations and experimental measurements.
