description Hydrazine (N<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub>) is one of the most widely used industrial chemicals that can be utilized as a precursor of pesticides, pharmaceutics, and rocket propellant. Due to its biological and environmental toxicity with potential health risks, various sensing tools have been developed. Among them, fluorescence-based molecular sensing systems have been highlighted due to its simple-operation, high selectivity and sensitivity, and biocompatibility. In our recent report, we disclosed a ratiometric type fluorescent probe, called <b>HyP-1</b>, for the detection of hydrazine, which is based on <i>ortho</i>-methoxy-methyl-ether (<i>o</i>-MOM) moiety assisted hydrazone-formation of the donor (D)-acceptor (A) type naphthaldehyde backbone. As our follow-up research, we disclose a turn-on type fluorescent probe, named <b>HyP-2</b>, as the next-generation hydrazine probe. The sensing rational of <b>HyP-2</b> is based on the <i>o</i>-MOM assisted retro-aza-Henry type reaction. The dicyanovinyl moiety, commonly known as a molecular rotor, causes significant emission quenching of a fluorescent platform in aqueous media, and its cleavage with hydrazone-formation, which induces a significant fluorescence enhancement. The high selectivity and sensitivity of <b>HyP-2</b> shows practical explicabilities, including real-time paper strip assay, vapor test, soil analysis, and real water assay. We believe its successful demonstrations suggest further applications into a wide variety of fields.
