This brief explains the theory of the interaction-induced electrical properties of van der Waals complexes. It focuses on the interaction-induced electrical dipole moments, polarizabilities and first hyperpolarizabilities of atom-atomic, atom-molecular and molecular-molecular van der Waals complexes.

Written at an accessible level for those new to the interaction-induced theory of electric properties A specially included chapter prepares readers for researching non-linear phenomena Includes a computational and experimental treatment of electric properties of interacting molecules Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
