trans-Chlorido{3-chloro-2-[(1-naphth-yl)imino-meth-yl]phenyl-κC,N}bis-(trimethyl-phosphane)nickel(II)
Abstract:
The title compound, [Ni(C(17)H(11)ClN)Cl(C(3)H(9)P)(2)], was obtained as a product of the reaction of [Ni(PMe(3))(4)] with a molar equivalent of 2,6-dichloro-N-naphthyl-benzaldehyde-amine in diethyl ether. The τ parameter is 0.3, indicating that the coordination geometry is square-pyramidal. The Ni(II) atom lies in the center of a square pyramidal in which one C, one Cl and two P atoms form the basal plane, with the imine N atom in an apical position. Two P-atom donors are located in trans positions.

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.

SN2 Reaction: Kinetics
In a chemical reaction, a relationship exists between the concentration of reactants and the rate at which the reaction proceeds. The study to measure this relationship is known as the kinetics of a chemical reaction. Kinetic studies are used to deduce the rate law of a chemical reaction, which provides information about the species involved during the transition state of the rate-determining step. Thus, kinetic studies help to derive the mechanism of a reaction.
