The aggregation behavior of 1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) in the nonaqueous solvents formamide (FA) and 3-hydroxypropionitrile (HPN) has been studied. UV/Vis absorption maximum λ max  and thermal cis → trans isomerization rate constant  k  iso  of an azo dye, as well as fluorescence intensity ratios  I  M / I  E  of monomer and excimer, and the excimer lifetime τ E  of two dipyrenyl compounds as probe molecules have been determined. For comparison, aggregation of the amphiphile POPC molecules was followed “probe-free” by means of dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. Combining the results of probe molecule studies and DLS it turned out that the critical aggregation concentration of POPC in FA &lt; 0.05mmol dm −3 . At ≥ 0.2mmol dm −3 , aggregates have hydrodynamic radii 30 &lt;  R  h  &lt; 80nm and high microviscosity in their hydrocarbon interior. A vesicle-like structure of the aggregates can therefore be assumed. Aggregation behavior of POPC in HPN is much less pronounced, essentially small aggregates with radii of a few nanometer have been detected which include solvent molecules.
