In this work, a fluorescent probe, RhodCl-Hz, with pH-applicative capability and long measuring range, was developed to serve the topic on the enrichment process of hydrazine. It was practical due to the clear acid-base boundary and the sectioned linear ranges. With the excitation wavelength of 515 nm and the emission peak at 565 nm, the detecting system was steady. It exhibited a clear cut-off point at pH 7.0 and steady fluorescence signals within the range of 7.0-10.0. As a whole, the linear range of 10.0-500 µM (1.0-50.0 equivalent) was long. The Limit of Detection value was calculated as 0.64 μM. With high selectivity, RhodCl-Hz was applied to suit water samples and biological imaging in both Arabidopsis Thaliana root tips and living MCF-7 cells. The information here might be helpful for revealing the enrichment process of hydrazine.
