Abstract:
The mobility and rearrangement of the C4H7(+) system over Chabazite were studied using ab initio molecular dynamics. The results indicated the high mobility of the cations, which can rearrange within picosecond time intervals. Experimental studies of nucleophilic substitution supported the theoretical findings.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
For example, in...
