%X Hydrazine (N2H4), a crucial chemical raw material, enhances people's lives and fosters human progress. Hydrazine usage or leakage has caused environmental contamination, affecting water, soil, and living beings. Hydrazine simultaneously presents a possible risk to human health due to its carcinogenic properties. Thus, quick and precise detection of hydrazine is crucial in environmental studies and biological contexts. We prepared a red-emitting fluorescence turn-on probe (XT-HZ) to detect hydrazine specifically. The probe has a low detecting limit for hydrazine (63 nM) with excitation wavelength at 570 nm and emission wavelength at 625 nm. Besides, the probe XT-HZ had excellent water solubility, high selectivity, and good sensitivity for detecting hydrazine. Finally, probe XT-HZ was applied in the imaging of N2H4 in living cells, zebrafish and environmental water samples.
