Solvent effect on chirality of 1,4-di[4-N-(trihydroxymethyl)methyl carbamoylphenyl]-2,5-didodecyloxybenzene (DTCD) self-assembled adlayer on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) is investigated by in situ scanning tunneling microscopy using tetrahydrofuran (THF), 1-phenyloctane (PO), 1-octanol, and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB) as solvent. Different chiral patterns are acquired in these solvents, suggesting that the chiral assembly of DTCD is solvent-dependent. With use of THF or PO as solvent, chiral patterns with windmill-shaped tetramer units are observed. In contrast, a racemic lamellar structure is revealed in 1-octanol. The coadsorption of 1-octanol molecules makes an important contribution to the formation of racemic lamellar structure. A structure transition from racemic lamellar structure to tetramer-based chiral patterns is observed with removal of 1-octanol molecules by thermal annealing. When TCB is used as solvent, a chiral meshy structure is formed at the TCB/HOPG interface. The results ...
