Ab initio molecular dynamics of the C4H7+ system on zeolite Chabazite carried out at different temperatures indicates that rearrangement of the C4H7+ cation can work within pico second time scale within the pores of the zeolite, supporting the formation of carbocation as discrete intermediates in zeolite-catalyzed reactions.
