One of the approximations, frequently\u0000employed in previous studies, assumes a uniform excess negative charge\u0000distribution over the entire fullerene shell, by analogy with a charged\u0000metallic sphere. The other approximation, not previously discussed in the\u0000literature, considers the quantum states of the excess electrons on the shell,\u0000determined by specific $n$ and $ell$ values of their quantum numbers.\u0000Remarkably, both methods yield photoionization cross sections for the\u0000encapsulated species that are close to each other. Consequently, we find that\u0000the photoionization of the encapsulated atoms or cations inside a $C_{N}^{q}$\u0000anion is minimally influenced by the quantum states of the excess electrons on\u0000the fullerene shell. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the aforementioned\u0000influence decreases even further with an increasing size of the confining\u0000fullerene shell. All this holds true at least under the assumption that the\u0000confined atom or cation is compact, i.e., its electron density remains\u0000primarily within itself rather than being drawn into the fullerene shell.
