A variety of organosilicas with p-xylylene bridging groups in the framework were synthesized using Pluronic F127 triblock copolymer as a micellar template under moderately acidic conditions in the presence of xylene as a micelle swelling agent. The resulting materials were characterized by using nitrogen adsorption, small-angle X-ray scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and Si-29 and C-13 cross-polarization magic angle spinning NMR. As the ratio of the organosilica precursor to Pluronic F127 was decreased, the structure evolved from highly ordered periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) to weakly ordered PMO, loosely aggregated hollow organosilica nanospheres, and finally to a significantly aggregated disordered structure. The highly ordered PMO with primarily face-centered cubic structure was effectively a closed-pore material. However, the weakly ordered variant exhibited large-diameter (similar to 15 nm) spherical mesopores, which were accessible after calcination under appropriate conditions or after extraction. The hollow nanospheres had readily accessible, uniform inner cavities whose size was readily tunable by adjusting the amount of the swelling agent used. It was also possible to convert the organosilica nanospheres into hollow silica nanospheres with inaccessible (closed) mesopores. The formation of distinct well-defined morphologies with spherical mesopores for an organosilica with large bridging groups in the framework shows that block-copolymer-surfactant templating is a powerful and versatile method for controlling the nanoscale structures of these remarkable materials.
