Abstract:
In the crystal structure of the title compound, [WCl(2)(NO)(C(6)H(16)P(2))(2)]Cl, the seven-coordinated tungsten(II) center displays a distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal geometry with trans nitrosyl and chloride ligands. The NO and Cl ligands are disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are 0.6 and 0.4.

Consider the bromination of cyclopentene. Molecular bromine is polarized in the proximity of the π electrons of cyclopentene. An electrophilic bromine atom adds across the double bond, forming a cyclic bromonium ion intermediate.
