Ordered organo–silica–surfactant mesophases containing covalently linked functionalized moieties are prepared with MCM-41-type architectures by template-directed co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane and organotrialkoxysilanes (RO)3Si–R′ [R = Me, Et; R′ = (CH2)3SH, (CH2)3NH2, (CH2)3OCH2CH(O)CH2, (CH2)3NCHNCH2CH2 or CH2CHCH2].
