Abstract
Although hydrazine (N2H4) is a versatile chemical used in many applications, it is toxic, and its leakage may pose a threat to both human health and environments. Consequently, the monitoring of N2H4 is significant. This study reports a one-step synthesis for coumarin-based ratiometric fluorescent probe (FP) CHAC, with acetyl as the recognition group. Selected deprotection of the acetyl group via N2H4 released the coumarin fluorophore, which recovered the intramolecular charge transfer process, which caused a prominent fluorescent, ratiometric response. CHAC demonstrated the advantages of high selectivity, a strong capacity for anti-interference, a low limit of detection (LOD) (0.16 μM), a large linear detection range (0-500 μM), and a wide effective pH interval (6-12) in N2H4 detection. Furthermore, the probe enabled quantitative N2H4 verifications in environmental water specimens in addition to qualitative detection of N2H4 in various soils and of gaseous N2H4. Finally, the probe ratiometrically monitored N2H4 in living cells having low cytotoxicity.
