The reports on mesoporous materials with a uniform distiribution of organic groups and inorganic oxide in the frameworks are summarized. The material is the first mesoporous material containing an organic component within the main inorganic framework, which is distinct from conventional organic-grafted mesoporous material. As the mesoporous materials have unique surface exposing both of organic and inorganic components, they expected to be applied to various catalysts, adsorbents and hosts for nano-cluster synthesis. The ethylenecontaining mesoporous material formed a variety of mesophases, 2D-hexagonal, cubic Pm-3n and 3D-hexagonal, which could be easily controlled by synthesis temperature and alkylchain length of surfactant. Furthermore, they showed highly ordered pore-arrangement symmetries with well-defined external morphologies of hexagonal rod, spherical and decaoctahedral particles, respectively. The use of organosilane compound possessing two alkoxysilyl groups on the both sides of organic fragments enables us to prepare such a highly ordered mesoporous materials, and to form unusual mesophases of cubic Pm-3n and 3D-hexagonal, which have never been formed when alkyltrimethylammonium was used as a surfactant.
