Comproportionation
Comproportionation,[1] also known as symproportionation,[Note 1] is a type of chemical reaction in which two species of different oxidation states react to form a product in an intermediate oxidation state. It is the opposite of disproportionation.[3]
A simple example of a comproportionation is the reaction of hydride with a Brønsted acid to give hydrogen:
- H− + H+ → H2
