Herein, we demonstrate a novel dual-mode system to detect and simultaneously consume hydrazine in vapour and solution by using a small photoresponsive molecule that has altered optical response (both colourimetric and fluorescent) after reacting with hydrazine.RSC advances22835-22841https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9034340biostudies-literatureA dual-mode visual detector for toxic hydrazine.PMC9034340Branda NRRaza RKaur BfalseA dual-mode visual detector for toxic hydrazine.Hydrazine (N₂H₄) is one of the commonly used chemical reagents in numerous industries and applications but its toxicity to humans poses a need to develop simple visual detection methods.
