A general asymptotic estimate is derived for the molecular energy level shi
fts caused by the encapsulation of the system into a spherical impenetrable
box of a large radius R. The value of the shift is proved to be exponentia
lly small with respect to both R and B-i = 2 root 2I(i) , where I-i is the
lowest ionization potential in the ith state of the non-confined 'free' sys
tem.
