A fluorescent probe for hydrazine and its in vivo applications

Abstract
In aqueous solution, probe 1 selectively reacts with hydrazine (N2H4), leading to a 30.5-fold turn-on fluorescence response at 560 nm. Probe 1 can detect hydrazine in both solution and gas state by color changes from readily prepared strips. Furthermore, it was found that probe 1 is able to detect hydrazine in Hela cells.
