Abstract
Using the symmetry group chain methods, the construction of rigorous algebraic models for the description of coupled stationary states of rigid and nonrigid molecules in a uniform constant external electric field is considered. The description of the Stark effect is obtained as a distortion of the description of stationary states of an isolated molecule as a result of the lowering the symmetry of the problem in the presence of the electric field.
