Abstract
Hydrazine (N2H4), as an important chemical raw material widely used in many fields, caused serious harm to human, food and environment. Therefore, a smart fluorescent probe TPC-N2H4 with intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process was fabricated for colorimetric and fluorescent differentiating of N2H4 in many samples. When TPC-N2H4 met N2H4, blue emission at 451 nm was obviously observed attributed to the interruption of ICT process, resulting in the formation of the hydrazone structure. Additionally, smartphone-assisted colorimetric and fluorescent sensing platforms had been developed for real-time monitoring of N2H4. Importantly, TPC-N2H4 with low toxicity revealed its ability to image N2H4 in HeLa cells, onion and Arabidopsis thaliana. Interestingly, a hydrogel-coated cotton swab sensor was developed with TPC-N2H4 as recognition unit, which showed obvious color and emission changes after N2H4 fumigation with fast response speed. Flexible fluorescent TPC-N2H4-glove was constructed for wearable N2H4 detection and used to monitor N2H4 in food and environment samples. In brief, the TPC-N2H4 probe not only showed great potential in N2H4 detection for environmental and food safety, but also provided a new method for wearable tracking platforms in toxic substance detection.
