Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Addition of Cu2+ or Pd2+ into a novel aromatic diamine lipid in water induced vesicle–lamella transition. Combining scattering and calorimetry revealed that the metals first coordinated on the vesicle surface and then induced flattening and stacking of the bilayer to form highly ordered lamellae. This is the first report of the Pd2+-induced structural transition of micelles.</jats:p>
