The syntheses of several saturated, pyrene-containing, metal-chelating lipids are described. These lipids are capable of strongly binding to transition metal ions employing the metal-chelating headgroup. The excimer-to-monomer ratio of the pyrene groups changes with addition of cupric ions to the liposomes. Three other transition metal ions (Zn(2+), Ni(2+), and Hg(2+)) did not cause any appreciable changes in the excimer-to-monomer ratio. [reaction--see text]
