In 2022,Xu, Yin-Xiang; Song, Yu-Meng; Chen, Chao-Yan; Shen, Jia-Wen; Zhu, Hai-Liang published an article in Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy. The title of the article was 《A pH-applicative fluorescent probe with long measuring range for monitoring hydrazine in water samples and Arabidopsis thaliana》.Reference of 4-Bromobutanoic acid The author mentioned the following in the article:
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 equiv) 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 biol. 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. In addition to this study using 4-Bromobutanoic acid, there are many other studies that have used 4-Bromobutanoic acid(cas: 2623-87-2Reference of 4-Bromobutanoic acid) was used in this study.
4-Bromobutanoic acid(cas: 2623-87-2) belongs to carboxylic acids. The chief chemical characteristic of the carboxylic acids is their acidity. They are generally more acidic than other organic compounds containing hydroxyl groups but are generally weaker than the familiar mineral acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, HCl, sulfuric acid, H2SO4, etc.).Reference of 4-Bromobutanoic acid
