Naphthalimide Based Optical Probe for the Detection of Hydrazine in Water and Their Application in Test Strips and Silica Supported Material

A newly synthesized naphthalimide-based fluorophore probe NIA was used to detect hydrazine. This probe, based on the Gabriel mechanism exhibited a highly sensitive revealing of hydrazine in naked eyes colorimetric as well as fluorescent recognition against other amines in an aqueous solution in DMSO - HEPES buffer. When hydrazine hydrate was added to the probe NIA, the absorption was red shifted from 403 nm to 520 nm. The titration studies by adding hydrazine to show two apparent isosbestic points found at 358 and 450 nm, respectively. Further, investigation of emission spectra upon addition of hydrazine hydride the emission peak at 493 nm gradually decreased up to 2.4 equiv. and when increasing the hydrazine hydride concentration from 2.4 equiv. to 4.4 equiv., the fluorescence intensity increased at 530 nm. which is exhibiting a raised ratiometric emission intensity at 530 nm. Further investigation of the selectivity of probe NIA revealed colorimetric and fluorimetric responses to interferences with other test amines. 1H NMR and HR-mass proved the Gabriel mechanism bath for detecting hazardous hydrazine by probe NIA. This probe NIA allowed the rapid and ultrasensitive detection of hydrazine hydride with a low detection limit of 0.26 nM. In view of the outstanding properties, probe NIA has been effectively performed to detect hydrazine using various techniques, including a test kit, silica support, and actual environmental water samples.

D-π-A Carbzazole Based Reactive Cyano-Substituted C = C bond Probe for Selective and Sensitive Detection of Hydrazine in Aqueous Media

This work established a newly designed and synthesized carbazole N-phenyl π-conjugated vinyl malononitrile (CPM) fluorescent sensor, which showed typical and remarkable redshift emission properties with different polarity index solvents. Investigative probe CPM is colorimetric and fluorimetric ultrafast and ultrasensitive detection of hazardous hydrazine in an aqueous medium. Furthermore, CPM showed colorimetric and fluorometric responses to interference tests with other amines and high selectivity for detecting hydrazine without interference with other amines in colorimetric and fluorimetric methods. This probe CPM for hydrazine was as low as the lower detection limit value of 2.21 × 10- 8 M. The probe CPM expects significant attention due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness in detecting hazardous hydrazine. UV-vis, PL, NMR, and MS spectra confirmed the mechanism of probe CPM detection of hazardous hydrazine. However, making a piece test kit attractive for practical hydrazine vapor leak-detection applications is easy. This study can be applied to many pipeline gas transmission industries and transportation facility sectors.

Synthesis and Application of Specific N2H4 Fluorescent Probes with AIE Effect Based on Pyrazole Structure

Two fluorescent probes, Y1-2 were synthesized from 2-acetonaphthone, 4-acetylbiphenyl, and phenyl hydrazine by Vilsmeier-Haack reaction and Knoevenagel condensation. Their recognition efficacies for N2H4 were tested by UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence emission spectroscopy. The recognition mechanism were studies by density-functional theory calculations, and the effect of pH on N2H4 recognition was also studied. The results showed that the probe Y1-2 has high selectivity and a low detection limit for N2H4, and the recognition of N2H4 can be accomplished at physiological pH. The probes have had obvious aggregation-induced luminescence effect, large Stokes shift, high sensitivity, and can be successfully applied to live cell imaging.

Old drug, new use: The thalidomide-based fluorescent probe for hydrazine detection

Thalidomide, a widely used ligand for cereblon (CRBN), has been gaining attention for its targeted protein degradation. In this study, we aimed to improve the optical and biocompatible features of hydrazine fluorescent probes by a novel probe called TH-1, based on the thalidomide moiety. Our results demonstrate that TH-1 exhibits remarkable properties including significant colorimetric changes, a fast response time, excellent selectivity, and high sensitivity as a hydrazine fluorescent probe. The mechanism by which TH-1 senses hydrazine has been convincingly verified. Notably, we have successfully applied TH-1 for bioimaging of hydrazine in living A549 cells, highlighting its practical significance. Moreover, the utilization of thalidomide, a clinically approved drug, as a fluorescent skeleton has expanded the repertoire of fluorescent skeleton libraries, paving the way for further on fluorescent probes.

Phenothiazine-based fluorescent probes for the detection of hydrazine in environment and living cells

As an important chemical raw material, hydrazine brings convenience to people's lives and provides opportunities for human development. However, the misuse or leakage of hydrazine has brought pollution to the environment, including water, soil and living organisms. At the same time, hydrazine poses a potential threat to human health as a carcinogen. Despite the enormous challenges, it is crucial to develop an effective method to detect hydrazine in environmental samples. In this work, we have synthesized a series of probes based on phenothiazine fluorophore by the introduction of different substituents and developed a novel probe for the detection of hydrazine. The probe is capable of detecting hydrazine in aqueous solutions with high sensitivity and selectivity, and can be easily fabricated into paper test strips for use in in situ samples. In addition, the probe is effective in detecting hydrazine in water, soil, cells, and zebrafish, providing an excellent tool for detecting hydrazine in the environment.

A nucleophilic addition-elimination based ratiometric fluorescent probe for monitoring N2H4 in biological systems and actual samples

Hydrazine (N₂H₄) is an important reagent in the field of fine chemical engineering. However, its accumulation in the environment and food chain could pose a great threat to food safety and human health. Therefore, designing a fluorescent probe with good cell penetration and high selectivity and sensitivity to detect N₂H₄ in actual samples and in vivo is a meaningful project. Herein, due to the nucleophilicity of hydrazine, we utilized naphthalimide as the fluorescence chromophore and pyrone as the recognition site to achieve the ratiometric detection of hydrazine by ring opening. In addition, we introduced the ester to improve the lipid solubility of the probe, which allowed the probe to better penetrate the cell membrane to realize the fluorescent imaging of probes in cells. Meanwhile, to our delight, the probe showed high selectivity and sensitivity to N₂H₄ in the test system, so we further applied the probe in water samples and food, in vitro and in vivo.
