A new derivation is presented for the orientation-dependent interaction tensors which describe the electrostatic interaction between two multipole or multipole polarizability distributions both given in their own molecule-fixed coordinate system. This derivation leads to an explicit equation that allows an easy and direct evaluation of formulae for the components of the double-tensors also for higher ranks. Such an equation is given for the real, for the complex spherical and for the cartesian moments. The formula is suitable to provide stable computer-generated expressions for tensor operators of any rank.
