Among the Oxoanions of chlorine listed above, ClO4 – does not dis proportionate because in this Oxo anion chlorine is present in its highest oxidation state that is, +7.
The disproportionation reactions for the other three Oxo anions of chlorine are as follows:
3ClO– 2Cl– --------->ClO– 3
6 ClO2– -----------> 4ClO3– + 2Cl–
4ClO– 3 ---------> Cl– + 3 ClO4 -
