Solid acid/base properties of organosiloxane‐based inorganic–organic hybrid materials are reported. The organic groups bonded to silicon in organosiloxane networks are found to synergistically affect the solid acid/base properties arising from inorganic components (see Figure). This synergistic effect may result in innovative materials with applications in fast proton conductors, selective catalysts, efficient membranes, high‐sensitivity sensors, and selective absorbents.
