Advances in Optical Probes for the Detection of Hydrazine in Environmental and Biological Systems

AbstractHydrazine, as a crucial raw material in the fine chemical industry, plays an indispensable role in fuel, catalyst, pesticide and drug synthesis. Due to its good water solubility and high toxicity, hydrazine can cause irreparable damage to water and soil in the environment, and it can also be released by taking certain drugs, which brings potential risks to human health. Therefore, it is vital to develop a method that can specifically detect hydrazine in the environment and in vivo. As an effective analysis and detection tool, fluorescence probe has attracted extensive attention in recent years. In this review, we summarized and classified hydrazine fluorescence probes based on various reaction mechanisms, and discussed their structures and applications in the past ten years. At least, we briefly outline the challenges and prospects in this field.Keywords: Detection mechanismfluorescence probehydrazinepractical application AcknowledgmentsThe authors gratefully acknowledge the financial support from the 2023 Anhui Public Health Clinical Centre Hospital Fund (No. 2023ykj11).Disclosure statementThe authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.
