Abstract
Formaldehyde, one of the simplest reactive carbonyl substances, is involved in many physiological and pathological processes in living organisms. There is a large amount of data showing that abnormal elevation of formaldehyde is associated with a variety of diseases in the body, such as neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular diseases and cancer, and is also a representative carcinogen, so monitoring formaldehyde is of great importance for disease diagnosis and treatment. In this review, In this paper, we summarize and classify the last ten years of probes for the detection of formaldehyde according to different reaction mechanisms and discuss the structures and applications of the probes. Finally, we briefly describe the challenges and possible solutions in this field. We believe that more new probes provide powerful tools to study the function of formaldehyde in living systems.

Abstract
Excess formaldehyde (FA) is a strong carcinogen, so the development of a rapid visualized and portable formaldehyde detection platform is of great research importance. A multi-color fluorescence sensing system constituted of model compound (NAHN) and red-emitting InP/ZnS QDs was constructed herein, which can simultaneously realize fluorometric-colorimetric dual-mode sensing when exposed to FA environment. Its preparation process was simplified, the detection process was green, and the limits of detection (LOD) were 0.623 μM and 0.791 μM, respectively. The high recoveries of FA in actual water samples indicated that the sensor had broad application prospects. The prepared fluorescent film can be utilized for rapid visual simulation analysis of FA on the surface of various fruits and vegetables. In addition, a serial logic gate was designed to quickly semi-quantitatively assess FA concentration, which promoted the realization of on-site intelligent evaluation of FA.

Abstract
Formaldehyde is added illegally to food to extend its shelf life due to its antiseptic and preservation properties. Several research has been conducted to examine the consequences of adulteration with formaldehyde in food items. These findings suggest that adding formaldehyde to food is considered harmful as it accumulates in the body with long-term consumption. In this review includes study findings on food adulteration with formaldehyde and their assessment of food safety based on the analytical method applied to various geographical regions, food matrix types, and their sources in food items. Additionally, this review sought to assess the risk of formaldehyde-tainted food and the understanding of its development in food and its impacts on food safety in light of the widespread formaldehyde adulteration. Finally, the study would be useful as a manual for implementing adequate and successful risk assessment to increase food safety.

Abstract
As a common reactive metabolite in living organisms, abnormal levels of formaldehyde may cause diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, it is important to develop a sensitive and efficient method to understand the role of formaldehyde in physiology and pathology. Herein, a new fluorescent probe 4-phenyl-2-(trifluoromethyl) quinolin-7-hydrazino (QH-FA) was prepared for the detection of formaldehyde in near-total aqueous media with hydrazine as the reaction site and quinoline derivatives as the fluorophore. After reacting with formaldehyde, the hydrazine group formed methylenehydrazine and the fluorescence was significantly enhanced (223-fold) with large Stokes shift of 140 nm. Furthermore, the response of QH-FA to formaldehyde could be finished with in only 10 min with good selectivity, and can distinguish formaldehyde from other aldehydes. More remarkably, the estimated limit of detection of QH-FA is 8.1 nM, which is superior to those of previously reported formaldehyde fluorescent probes. At the end, we detected formaldehyde in cells and zebrafish using QH-FA in a near-total aqueous system and obtained fluorescence images by confocal microscopy.

Abstract
Formaldehyde has an extremely reactive carbonyl group, commonly used as an antibacterial agent to sterilize and prevent food to spoil. This article describes an efficient and rapid detection method of formaldehyde from an aqueous solution by synthesizing 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) quantum dots (Nano A) which react with formaldehyde to generate a Schiff base reaction. The photoinduced electron transfer produced by the quantum dots themselves results in fluorescence quenching to detect formaldehyde. The detection limit can reach 10-9 M, and it can further be used to detect formaldehyde content in foods, such as baby vegetables, mushrooms, and vermicelli among other daily foods.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (FA), a reactive carbonyl species, is classified as Group 1 carcinogen by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 2004. In addition, clinical studies have implicated that elevated levels of FA have been associated with different kinds of diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, and chronic liver and heart disorders. However, in addition to the direct inhalation of FA in the environment, most organisms can also produce FA endogenously by demethylases and oxidases during the metabolism of amino acids and xenobiotics. Since FA plays an important role in physiological and pathological processes, developing reliable and efficient methods to monitor FA levels in biological samples is crucial. Reaction-based fluorescent/chemiluminescent probes have provided robust methods for FA detection and real-time visualization in living organisms. In this highlight, we will summarize the major developments in the structure design and applications of FA probes in recent years. Three main strategies for designing FA probes have been discussed and grouped by different reaction mechanisms. In addition, some miscellaneous reaction mechanisms have also been discussed. We also highlight novel applications of these probes in biological systems, which offer powerful tools to discover the diverse functions of FA in physiology and pathology processes.

Abstract
Increasing evidence has highlighted the endogenous production of formaldehyde (FA) in a variety of fundamental biological processes and its involvement in many disease conditions ranging from cancer to neurodegeneration. To examine the physiological and pathological relevance and functions of FA, fluorescent probes for FA imaging in live biological samples are of great significance. Herein we report a systematic investigation of 2-aza-Cope reactions between homoallylamines and FA for identification of a highly efficient 2-aza-Cope reaction moiety and development of fluorescent probes for imaging FA in living systems. By screening a set of N-substituted homoallylamines and comparing them to previously reported homoallylamine structures for reaction with FA, we found that N-p-methoxybenzyl homoallylamine exhibited an optimal 2-aza-Cope reactivity to FA. Theoretical calculations were then performed to demonstrate that the N-substituent on homoallylamine greatly affects the condensation with FA, which is more likely the rate-determining step. Moreover, the newly identified optimal N-p-methoxybenzyl homoallylamine moiety with a self-immolative β-elimination linker was generally utilized to construct a series of fluorescent probes with varying excitation/emission wavelengths for sensitive and selective detection of FA in aqueous solutions and live cells. Among these probes, the near-infrared probe FFP706 has been well demonstrated to enable direct fluorescence visualization of steady-state endogenous FA in live mouse brain tissues and elevated FA levels in a mouse model of breast cancer. This study provides the optimal aza-Cope reaction moiety for FA probe development and new chemical tools for fluorescence imaging and biological investigation of FA in living systems.

Abstract
Due to the huge threat of formaldehyde (FA) on human beings, the development of chemical sensors for swift detection of FA in solutions and gas phase is highly anticipated. In this paper, a versatile logic detector and a portable fluorescent film based on small-scaled Eu-based MOF were applied successfully to detect FA in solutions and gas phase, respectively. For FA in aqueous solution, the design of logic detector will efficiently identify FA in different concentration ranges: when the FA concentration are 0-500 ppb, 500-1000 ppb and >1000 ppb, the output signals of logic detector are the concentration level of FA ("L", "H" and "VH"), and accompanied by red, purple and blue signal lamps to remind, respectively. For FA in the air, the color of rigid film sensor will gradually change from red to blue with the increase of FA under UV lamp, and the detection limit of gaseous FA is 11.8 ppb. Through the preparation of logic devices and fluorescent films, Eu-based MOF realized swift detection of FA in solutions and gas phase, which will be very helpful to improve the human response level to FA from different emission sources.

Abstract
Formaldehyde, a highly reactive carbonyl species, has been widely used in day-to-day life owing to its numerous applications in essential commodities, etc.; the extrusion of formaldehyde from these sources basically leads to increased formaldehyde levels in the environment. Additionally, formaldehyde is endogenously produced in the human body via several biological processes. Considering the adverse effects of formaldehyde, it is highly important to develop an efficient and reliable method for monitoring formaldehyde in environmental and biological samples. Several chemodosimeters (reaction-based sensing probes) have been designed and synthesized to selectively detect the presence of formaldehyde utilizing the photophysical properties of molecules. In this review, we have comprehensively discussed the recent advances in the design principles and sensing mechanisms of developed probes and their biological/environmental applications in selective formaldehyde detection and imaging endogenous formaldehyde in cells. We have summarized the literature based on three different categories: (i) the Schiff base reaction, (ii) the 2-aza-Cope sigmatropic rearrangement reaction and (iii) miscellaneous approaches. In all cases, reactions are accompanied by changes in color and/or emission that can be detected by the naked eye.

Abstract
Perylene diimides (PDI) are a well-studied class of functional organic dyes, and in recent years, they have been accepted as promising scaffolds for the design of small molecule/polymer-based chromogenic and fluorogenic reaction-based-probes because of their strong absorption combined with high fluorescence quantum yield in organic solvents, low reduction potential, good electron-acceptor properties, and broad color range properties. Undoubtedly, the intrinsically poor solubility of PDI-based derivatives in water greatly hampers their exploitation as reaction-based probes; however, a vast array of functionalizations now offer design strategies that have resulted in >50% solubility of PDI derivatives in water. A chemodosimeter, wherein chemical transformation is achieved by specific reactions, affords naked-eye visibility, fast response time, sensitivity, ratiometric response, and low cost. The present review focuses on the progress of PDI-based chemodosimeters achieved so far since the inception of this member in the rylene diimide family. This comprehensive review may facilitate the development of more powerful chemodosimeters based on PDI for broad and exciting applications in the future.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (FA, HCHO) is a highly reactive carbonyl species, which is very harmful to humans and the environment as a tissue fixative and preservative. Therefore, developing some highly sensitive, selective, and rapid detection methods is significant for human health in food safety and environmental protection. Herein, a two-photon (TP) ratiometric sensor, CmNp-CHO, has been constructed by conjugating a TP donor (Π-push-pull-structure) with a FA off-on acceptor (functioned with hydrazide moiety) via a nonconjugated linker through the fluorescence resonance energy transfer mechanism. Such a scaffold affords CmNp-CHO a reliable and specific probe for detecting FA with two well-resolved emission peaks separated by 124 nm. Also, it responds to FA rapidly with high selectivity and sensitivity during 1.0 min and a large ratio enhancement at I550/I426 with addition of 0-20μM FA, exhibiting ∼4-fold ratio increase and a fairly low LOD of 8.3 ± 0.3 nM. Moreover, CmNp-CHO has been successfully employed for detecting FA in live cells, onion tissues, and zebrafish, exhibiting that CmNp-CHO can serve as a useful tool for investigating FA in real food application and offering strong theoretical support and technical means for investigation of physiological and pathological functions of FA.

Abstract
We presented a new benzothiazole-based fluorescent probe for ratiometric sensing of formaldehyde. Upon treatment with formaldehyde, the alkylamine-functionalized probe can be converted to its aldehyde analogue via the target-mediated 2-aza-Cope rearrangement, which led to significant shifts in both absorption (from 392 to 452 nm) and emission (from 492 to 552 nm) bands. The sensing mechanism was confirmed by HPLC, UV/Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The probe is capable of sensing formaldehyde under physiological conditions with high selectivity over potentially competing biological analytes. The probe also displayed sensitive ratiometric fluorescence response (up to 35.7 fold) for formaldehyde with a low limit detection of 0.58 μM. Furthermore, the probe was successfully employed for ratiometric imaging of formaldehyde in living cells as well as in zebrafish.
