Charges derived from distributed multipole series

A novel method to calculate electrostatic charges is proposed. Partial charges are fitted to reproduce the electrostatic potential of a distributed multipole series without explicitly evaluating electrostatic potentials. The calculation is economical and results in charges reflecting the symmetry properties of charge centers and being independent of molecular orientation.
