To this end, a series of thiol-functionalized adsorbents characterized by different structures (from completely disordered amorphous solids to highly ordered mesostructures), variable density of organic ligands (from 1 to 4mmolg^-^1), and various degrees of porosity, have been prepared either by post-synthesis grafting or by the co-condensation route. Hg(II) binding to these thiol-functionalized silica samples is strongly dependent on pH, especially in acidic medium (pH
