The sensitivity of Ho–phospholipid complexes to changes in the membrane viscosity of liposomes was checked. An increase in viscosity was observed for DPPC and DMPC near the phase-transition temperature. Ho–phospholipid complexes could be used as sensors of local membrane viscosity in NMR and MRI technologies.
