Organically-modified silicates have been synthesized from RSi(OEt)(3) (R = CH3, C2H5, C8H17, CH2=CH, C6H5) and TEOS under acidic conditions, in the presence of cethyltrimethylammonium (CTAB). The introduction of RSiO1,5 units with R/Si = 0.2, affects the ordering of the expected hexagonal silicate phase, except when R = C6H5 The sample containing phenyl functions was thus submitted to surfactant extraction; calcination at 350 degrees C appears to be more efficient, and less disruptive for the network ordering than a washing procedure in ethanol. Nitrogen adsorption measurements on the hexagonally ordered calcined sample that still contains phenyl groups, yields a type I isotherm, typical of a microporous solid. BET method leads to a surface area of 1000 m(2)/g and a pore volume of 0.32 cm(3)/g.
