1. Any chemical reaction of the type

where A, A' and A' are different chemical species. For example:

The reverse of disproportionation is called comproportionation. A special case of disproportionation (or "dismutation") is "radical disproportionation", exemplified by:

Reactions of the more general type:

are also loosely described as radical disproportionations.

2. A reversible or irreversible transition in which species with the same oxidation state combine to yield one of higher oxidation state and one of lower oxidation state.

Example:

The term also applies to an internal oxidation-reduction process as occurs, for example, among the iron atoms of CaFeO₃, where
