We describe the statistical-mechanical theory of macromolecules which consist of N solute molecules in anisotropic solvents. The result of conformations is one-dimensional inextensible semiflexible rod, which interacts with the solvent anisotropy. To analyze the dynamics of a such chain we use path integral approach. Analytical study shows that the contribution of kinetic energy to the partition function is simulated by the power laws dependence and plays unique role in thermodynamic equilibrium.
