Anionic lipids derived from L-, D-, DL-glutamic acids, L-aspartic acid, L-lysine, L-ornithine, and L-2, 4-diaminobutyric acid were prepared and the way in which structurally related, solvatochromic cationic styryl dyes were incorporated into these lipid aggregates were investigated. The L-or D-glutamic acid-derived lipids with glutaric acid headgroups aggregated to form specific hydrophobic cavities which exhibited inclusion ability for the ...
