Advances and Emerging Trends in Classical and Modern Thermodynamics.

By Nidhi Sahu

Abstract: Thermodynamics, as a foundational discipline of physical science, has continually evolved from its classical roots to modern, interdisciplinary applications. Classical thermodynamics established the laws governing energy, entropy, and equilibrium, providing the framework for analyzing heat engines, refrigeration cycles, and chemical processes. Recent advances have expanded these principles into new domains, integrating statistical mechanics, quantum theory,…

Mechanistic Insights into Solvent-Controlled Stepwise and Concerted Cycloadditions of the Propadienyl Cation with Oxoamides: A DFT Study

By Vanishree Shankar Naik, Nayela Javeed, and Ganga Periyasamy

Abstract: AbstractOxazoles constitute an important class of heterocycles with widespread applications in medicinal chemistry and materials science, yet the mechanistic features governing their formation via cationic cycloaddition reactions remain incompletely understood. In this work, we present a comprehensive density functional theory (DFT) investigation into the reaction between the propadienyl cation and oxoamides as a model system…
