Sonolysis provokes electron-transfer reactions in which hindered phenols act as donors (Aleksandrov et al. 1995). The primary importance of this example consists in the hindrance to the donor-acceptor approach, which prevents or significantly hampers overlapping of the corresponding orbitals. 

In addition to relevant chapters in inorganic texts, see the books listed in Section A.9 of the Appendix. An interesting account of donor/ acceptor interactions is given by Gutmann, V. (1978). The Donor-Acceptor Approach to Molecular Interactions. New York Plenum. For bio-inorganic chemistry, see the book by Hughes (1982) cited in Section A.12. For Sections 9.6 and 9.7, Cotton and Wilkinson s (1988) text (Section A.3) should be consulted.

Drago s EJC analysis and Gutmann s donor/acceptor approach [53, 67] have been compared [200, 217, 218], Eq. (2-12) has been extended for specific and nonspecific interactions between solutes and polar solvents [219]. Various Lewis acidity and basicity scales for polar solvents have been examined and compared by Fawcett, who concluded that the donor/acceptor scales of Gutmann seem to be the most appropriate [341],...
