ABSTRACT
Besides data generalization for the environment effect on chemical reaction kinetics, empirical solvent "polarity" scales are very widely used for spectral events. However, due to insufficient universality of these scales, to set the connection between solvent properties and spectral shifts of substances solved in the solvents, expressions considering several parameters were used for the first time. Besides the known Bakshiev and Mac-Ray formulae, the work by Fowler and Katritzky [1] should be mentioned. In this work the solvent effects on spectral and kinetic processes are described using multiparameter, linear equations. Correlated parameters in these equations are various functions of light refraction and dielectric constant.
