abstract = {Water is one of the most common materials on Earth and in
everyday life. However, with its many anomalies which in
many cases get further amplified when supercooled, it is
still poorly understood. A particularly interesting case is
water under confinement. When water is subject to spatial
restrictions, it has been found that the structure of its
network is influenced and its equilibrium and dynamical
properties vary. An interesting confining matrix for water
is found in the form of periodic mesoporous organosilicas
(PMOs). These materials enable mesoporous confinement in a
broad range of pore diameters with the possibility of tuning
the pore wall-water interaction. This is achieved by organic
moieties in the pore wall, which can house additional
functional groups. These groups can for example have
hydrophobic or hydrophilic properties. This thesis
investigates the structure of water and ice under
confinement in a broad range of PMOs with different pore
diameters and pore wall functionalizations, by use of X-ray
scattering. A strong dependence of the structure of confined
water on the pore functionalization, as well as the pore
diameter is found. Pores with smaller diameters and
hydrophilic functionalizations lead to a decrease in density
when compared to bulk water. Furthermore, a stronger
tetrahedral water network is observed in these pores. At
lower temperatures, an ice structure with diffuse
cubic-like, hexagonal and amorphous contributions is
observed. The hexagonal component also exhibits a shift in
its lattice parameters when compared to bulk hexagonal ice.
In smaller, hydrophilic pores, the ice crystallites are
furthermore oriented in specific, preferred angles compared
to the pore axis. It is also observed that the PMO host
materials undergo a deformation when water is being
adsorbed. Specifically, the periodicity of their organic
moieties changes in dependence on their interaction with
water.},
