17. A suitable partitioning in case of perturbation-dependent basis functions is, for example, provided by the "natural connection." (Reference 18), but no improvement in basis set convergence of the dia- and paramagnetic terms is observed compared to results from conventional calculations [K. Ruud and T. Helgaker (unpublished)].
18. o ≠ 0, the vector potential given in Eq. (8) for an external field is only correct if an additional scalar potential is introduced to ensure that the corresponding electric field vanishes everywhere. This scalar potential leads to the second-order contribution in the Hamiltonian (cf. Eq. (10)) which is required for the computation of rotational g tensors. Note also that only the diagonal elements of g in the pincipal axes system are well defined and contribute to the rotational Zeeman effect (see, for example, Ref. 1). In case of the spin-rotation constant, the choice of the vector potential due to the nuclear magnetic moments is only valid for coordinate systems fixed at the Kth nucleus. Transformation to the rotating coordinate system used to describe the electronic structure of the molecule yields an additional scalar potential which leads to the second-order contribution in the Hamiltonian (cf. Eq. (11)). Note that unlike most previous work we ignore all effects due to Thomas precession, as they can be shown to contribute only in higher orders.

25. For completeness, we note that origin-independent calculations of spin-rotation constants based on Eq. (34) have been already presented in the literature: R. Ditchfield, J. Chem. Phys. 56, 5688 (1972); D. Sundholm, J. Gauss, and R. Ahlrichs, Chem. Phys. Lett. 243, 264 (1995), though to the best of our knowledge a theoretical justification for the applied procedure has never been given.

28. However, we note that for properties that cannot be expressed as energy derivatives, like for instance electronic circular dichroism (ECD), which is a residue of the linear response function: K. L. Bak, Aa. E. Hansen, K. Ruud, T. Helgaker, J. Olsen, and P. Jørgensen, Theor. Chim. Acta 90, 441 (1995), the natural connection provides the only suitable definition of connection for perturbation dependent basis set.

46. One might wonder why we have chosen different basis sets for the calculation of spin-rotation constants and rotational g tensors. However, previous calculations have shown that Dunning's correlation consistent basis sets are not well suited for computations of nuclear shieldings (probably due to a too tight contraction of the core orbitals), while test calculations indicated that the "Karlsruhe" basis sets are not optimal for magnetizabilities.
