The structure and intermolecular interactions (hydrophobic and H-bonding) of these well-defined self-structured hybrid silicas are discussed in relation to their powder X-ray diffraction patterns. The degree of structural order is determined by the length and parity of the alkylene spacer. A concomitant enhancement in the degree of condensation of the inorganic component and a decrease in the strength of the hydrophobic interactions between the organic components are demonstrated. The strength and directionality of the H-bonding are directly correlated to the crystalllinity of the organic-inorganic hybrid materials. %G English %L hal-00163295 %U https://hal.science/hal-00163295 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP1 %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ ENSC-MONTPELLIER %~ ICG %~ LCVN %~ CHIMIE %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM1-UM2
