For all molecules investigated herein, the presence of harmonic
oscillator potential leads to the decrease of dipole polarizability
values. Quite a similar trend of changes inazz is observed also
when the confinement effect is modeled within supermolecular
approximation. The only exceptions are the HF and HCl molecules for which a nonmonotonic behavior ofazz was found. In
general, however, the influence of spatial restriction on the linear response of these two molecules is insignifican
