The intercalated compounds of alkylsulfonate into hydrated and dehydrated zinc were synthesized. From the XRD, FT-IR, TGA, elemental analysis data, and the molecular size, the orientation of the intercalated alkylsulfonates was determined. For the hydrated compounds, alkylsulfonates were intercalated into hexaqua zinc layer with the bilayer structure of <TEX>$32.9^{\circ}$</TEX> angle of inclination. For the dehydrated compounds, alkylsulfonates were directly bonded to zinc ion with the bilayer structure of <TEX>$51.4^{\circ}$</TEX> angle of inclination.
