Full-Cl calculations of frequency-dependent dipole and dipole-quadrupole polarizabilities of ground state LiH have been performed in the imaginary frequency range 0-56 a.u. using a set of 58 Gaussian type orbitals (GTOs) giving a Full-Cl dimension of about 700.000 determinants in each symmetry-adapted subspace. A 16-point Gauss-Legendre quadrature of the Casimir-Polder formula over imaginary frequencies allows calculation of the dipole-quadrupole dispersion constants for the LiH-LiH homodimer, from which C-7 dispersion coefficients are derived for the first time.
