Abstract
High-order Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory and series summation by the Pade-Hermit approximants are used to calculate the vibrational energy levels of isotopically substituted molecules. As an example, the levels of water isotopologues are calculated. It is found that the perturbation series diverge in the cases of both hydrogen by deuterium or tritium substitution and "heavy" oxygen atom (O16->O18) substitution. However, the use of the Pade-Hermit approximants makes it possible to calculate the isotopic level shifts quite accurately for any isotope substitution, both preserving the symmetry of the molecule and reducing it.
