β¦ Synopsis
It is demonstrated from vapour-pressure osmometric data on solutions of phosphatidylcholine in benzene in the concentration range 0.015-0.08 mole/1 that under these conditions PC forms aggregates of about 15 molecules. From dielectric measurements it follows that in these aggregates the dipoles of the PC molecules compensate each other to an important extent, the amount of compensation decreasing with increasing temperature. From the aggregate size it follows that the dielectric relaxation must be due to the reorientation of PC molecules within the aggregates.
