The semiempirical-factorization approximation (E. V. Inopin et al., Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Fiz. 39, 55 (1975)) with elimination of the center-of-mass motion of the /sup 4/He nucleus is proved by expanding one-particle wave functions with exponential asymptotic behavior in Gaussian functions. In this approximation expressions are obtained for the energies of rotational states of ..cap alpha..-cluster nuclei in the Brink model with wave functions having realistic asymptotic behavior. It is shown by direct calculation that the rotational-state energies are close to those obtained earlier in the Gaussian approximation. The parameters of the wave functions found in variational calculations of rotational-state energies agree with those obtained through analysis of electron-scattering form factors. It is shown that allowance for the exponential asymptotic behavior of the one-particle functions leads to an effective polarization of the ..cap alpha..-clusters.
