Isotropic and anisotropic magnetizabilities for noble gas atoms and a series of singlet and triplet molecules were calculated using the second‐order Douglas‐Kroll‐Hess (DKH2) Hamiltonian containing the vector potential A and in part using second‐order generalized unrestricted Møller‐Plesset (GUMP2) theory. The DKH2 Hamiltonian was resolved into three parts (spin‐free terms, spin‐dependent terms, and magnetic perturbation terms), and the magnetizabilities were decomposed into diamagnetic and paramagnetic terms to investigate the relativistic and electron‐correlation effects in detail. For Ne, Kr, and Xe, the calculated magnetizabilities approached the experimental values, once relativistic and electron‐correlation effects were included. For the IF molecule, the magnetizability was strongly affected by the spin‐orbit interaction, and the total relativistic contribution amounted to 22%. For group 17, 16, 15, and 14 hydrides, the calculated relativistic effects were small (less than 3%), and trends were observed in relativistic and electron‐correlation effects across groups and periods. The magnetizability anisotropies of triplet molecules were generally larger than those of similar singlet molecules. The so‐called relativistic‐correlation interference for the magnetizabilities computed using the relativistic GUMP2 method can be neglected for the molecules evaluated, with exception of triplet SbH. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
