A luminescence probe based on chloroplatinum(II) complexes of 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2′-yl)pyridine with hexaethylene glycol methyl ether groups ([Pt(N^N^N)Cl]+) was reported for sensing of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin and rapid discrimination of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial pathogens. [Pt(N^N^N)Cl]+ can be dissolved in aqueous solution with minimal luminescence emission. In the presence of LPS, [Pt(N^N^N)Cl]+ binds to negatively charged LPS to form LPS–Pt(II) aggregates. The formation of LPS–Pt(II) aggregates enhances the intermolecular Pt⋯Pt and π–π stacking interactions, and consequently leads to luminescence emission centered at 650 nm due to triplet metal-to-metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (3MMLCT). The limit of detection (LOD) of LPS is 5.7 nM. We also demonstrate a proof-of-concept application of [Pt(N^N^N)Cl]+ for rapid and washing-free discrimination of Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus within 5 min. The above features of [Pt(N^N^N)Cl]+ make it a promising sensor for clinical applications in the detection of endotoxins and discrimination of bacterial pathogens.
