Dielectric properties of water adsorbed in pure siliceous and aluminum containing mesoporous MCM - 41 materials have been investigated in the frequency range 20 Hz to 1 MHz. The dielectric spectra revealed three dispersion regions, liquid like free water in the center of the mesopores, an intermediate water layer with reduced mobility, and an interfacial water layer at the inner surface of the mesopores. The latter displays features of the glassy state of a hydrogen-bonded system although the temperature dependence of the mean relaxation time follows the Arrhenius law. The analysis of the relaxation time distribution by means of a double well potential indicates a strong dependence of the water hydrogen bond strength in the interfacial layer on the framework aluminum concentration. Typical saddle point have been obtained for the relaxation time at higher temperatures.
