Abstract
An atom-atom partitioning of the Coulomb interaction is proposed based on the topology of the electron density. For demonstration purposes, the application of this partitioning in van der Waals complexes and covalent molecules is discussed. The multipole expansion of this partitioning within the spherical tensor formalism is also highlighted.
