The present invention provides a chemically stable and novel glycero-compound having one or two triple bonds, one molecule of a glycerol and one or two molecules of a fatty alcohol having a triple bond being linked through an ether bond, an organic group being linked to residual hydroxyl groups of the glycerol, which can be used as a membrane material for forming a vesicle membrane due to its high intermolecular cohesive force, and also provides a membrane forming material containing the same. The glycero-compound has a triple bond represented by the following general formula (1): wherein n and m each represents a number of 1 to 17 and the total (n+m) is a number of 4 to 18, n and m may be the same or different, and R represents a hydrogen atom, a metal atom, a phosphoric acid group, or an organic group which may be linked through a phosphoric acid group.
