Including intermonomer quadrupole interactions will probably not be necessary in most cases. A study of 27 water dimers (10 of which were stationary points on the potential energy surface) showed that the sum of the quadrupole interactions consistently made up less than 0.5% of the total damped Coulomb interaction energy between the multipole charge distributions centered on the two oxygen atoms of each water dimer tested
