A new fluorescent and colorimetric sensor for hydrazine and its application in biological systems

Abstract

Hydrazine is a very important industrial chemical and exhibits high toxicity to human beings. Here we have constructed a novel ICT-based fluorescence sensor with a high selectivity and sensitivity, rapid detection, and huge color-change. We used the sensor for hydrazine determination in live cells and also in live fish, and manufactured dipsticks using our sensor. The sensing mechanism is well rationalized with the aid of TD-DFT (time-dependent density functional theory) calculations.
