The synthesis and preliminary characterization of the first example of ghost vesicle derived from polymerized vesicles of diallylammonium dihexadecylphosphate (1) plus sodium dihexadecylphosphate (2) are described herein. Vesicle polymerization was carried out by direct uv irradiation, and thin-layer chromatography indicated the disappearance of 1, retention of 2, and a product remaining at the origin. The resulting polymer was collected and analyzed, and the analysis agreed quite well with the theoretical values. The ir spectrum of the polymer showed nearly complete disappearance of the olefinic absorption band nu/sub c = c/ at 1635 cm/sup -1/ indicating that the extent of polymerization was high. 12 references, 2 figures.
