We express a description of the state-selection role for a polar molecule in a hexapole electrostatic field. By a quantum mechanical treatment of the molecular Stark energy and a classical mechanical treatment for the molecular trajectory in the field, we present the calculated results of the different molecular rotational state selection and beam focus and discuss the influence of the high order Stark effect, the beam speed on the results for the symmetric top molecule CH3CN, CH3I, and the asymmetric top molecule CH2F2 in the hexapole field.
