The dynamic control of chiral (enantiomeric) responses in chiral host-guest complexes through external stimuli is a significant challenge in modern chemistry for developing smart stimuli-responsive materials. Herein, we report the (chir)optical properties and chiral recognition behavior of water-soluble chiral naphthotubes () under the influence of hydrostatic pressure as an external stimulus. The hydrostatic pressure spectral profiles compared to those obtained at normal pressure revealed the dynamic behavior of under hydrostatic pressure, owing to the flexible linker. In chiral recognition experiments, hydrophilic amino acids such as phenylalanine (Phe) and tryptophan (Trp) exhibited reaction volume changes (Δ°) of -0.9 cm mol for d-Phe, -1.2 cm mol for l-Phe, -5.6 cm mol for d-Trp, and -7.0 cm mol for l-Trp, with enantioselectivity ranging from 1.2 to 1.6. In contrast, hydrophobic chiral styrene oxide () showed Δ° values of 1.5 cm mol for - and 3.5 cm mol for , with a relatively higher enantioselectivity of up to 7.6. These contrasting effects of hydrostatic pressure primarily originate from the dynamics of chiral naphthotubes.

In this study, the effects of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP)-mediated alterations in matrix composition on the bioaccessibility of carotenoids in satsuma mandarin juice were assessed. Results showed that the total carotenoid content increased significantly under HHP treatment (300-600 MPa), and the total carotenoids bioaccessibility was optimal at 600 MPa/1 min. The bioaccessibility of carotenoids in satsuma mandarin juice was positively correlated with the contents of titratable acids, total phenols and total sugars, all of which increased significantly after HHP.

Hydrated magnesium sulfates (MgSO·HO) are known to form multiple hydration states ( = 0-11) and are essential in planetary science and thermochemical energy storage. Despite their significance in detecting extraterrestrial water reservoirs or in mineral (de)hydration cycles, it is still necessary to understand how the structure-property relationships of these materials evolve at different hydration levels when pressure is applied. Through a systematic first-principles computational investigation, we elucidate the key structural factors governing the densification mechanism under hydrostatic pressure of MgSO·HO crystals.
