Synproportionation

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

Synproportionation is a concept in chemistry and is a redox reaction where two reactants that share an atom but differ in oxidation number react to a single reaction product

Examples:

• Potassium permanganate contains manganese with oxidation number of +7 and reacts with manganese dioxide with oxidation number +2 to Manganese(IV) oxide with oxidation number +4, potassium hydroxide and water.
• in chalcogen chemistry 15Se + SeCl₄ + 4AlCl₃ -> Na[AlCl]₄ + 3Se₈[AlCl₄]₂. [1] (http://www.chem.fsu.edu/editors/alabugin/chemical_reviews_galley.pdf)
