16 - 236Synthesis and Vesicle Formation of Novel Pseudoglyceryl DimericLipids. Evidence of Formation of Widely Different MembraneOrganizations with Exceptional Thermotropic Properties. — Newbis-cationic dimeric lipids (VII) (8 examples) are synthesized which formvesicles by dispersion in aqueous solutions. Thermal, spectroscopic, DLS andX-ray studies reveal the formation of three different kinds of membranousaggregates depending on the chain length of the alkanediyl spacer Y. —(BHATTACHARYA, S.; DE, S.; GEORGE, S.
