A new theory of the solvent effects is presented in this paper, in which the solute molecule is assumed to have a spheroidal form and have an electric dipole moment directed in the axis of rotation at its centre. The cavity field and the reaction field, etc. are calculated as the functions of the shape of the solute molecule and the dielectric constant of the solvent, and the molecular polarization is also calculated. Theoretical curve, expressing the molecular polarization vs. the dielectric constant of the solvent, obtained from this theory shows a fairly good agreement with the experimental results. The curve shows that the molecular polarization has a maximum value for a small dielectric constant of the solvent and its value decreases for larger dielectric constants.
