Buckingham (unit) analogous to the Debye unit for the dipole moment of two opposing charges of 1 statcoulomb separated by 1 Angstrom, and the name Buckingham for the unit was in fact suggested by Peter Debye in 1963 in honour of Buckingham. Buckingham (unit) The Buckingham (symbol: B) is a CGS unit of electric quadrupole, named in honour of the chemical physicist A. David Buckingham who was the first to measure a molecular quadrupole moment. It is defined as 1 statcoulomb-centimetre. This is equivalent to 1 Debye-Ångström, where 1 Debye = 1 statcoulomb-centimetre is the cgs unit of molecular dipole moment and
