Abstract
It is shown that the second-order perturbation expression for the diamagnetic susceptibility of electrically neutral atoms and molecules can be put in a completely gauge-independent form, even when the susceptibility is expressed in terms of approximate zeroth-order wave functions. It is further shown that the natural choice of the origin of electronic coordinates is the center of nuclear charge of the molecule.Keywords
