Cycloheptene is a 7-membered

cis
- or the trans-isomer.

cis-Cycloheptene trans-Cycloheptene

trans-Cycloheptene

With cycloheptene, the cis-isomer is always assumed but the trans-isomer does also exist. One procedure for the

dimer. The two heptane radical rings then untwist to an unstrained conformation, and finally the dimer fragments back into two cis-cycloheptene molecules. Note that the photoisomerization of maleic acid to fumaric acid with bromine
is also bimolecular.
