Determination and manipulation of supramolecular chirality has attracted great interest as chirality plays a significant role in fields such as heterogeneous, asymmetric catalysis and chemical sensing. A number of studies and reviews have reported the formation of two-dimensional (2D) supramolecular chiral structures within an adsorbed molecular monolayer following deposition of achiral molecules onto surfaces or interfaces. Through these remarkable studies, researchers have been able to classify chiral organisation at a surface including both the creation of local chirality by single adsorption events, termed point chirality, and the chiral arrangements of individual adsorption motifs, termed organisational chirality. In other words, surface chirality can be expressed at two different levels : point chirality (local chiral motif) and local organizational chirality (2D chiral domains), representing the first and second hierarchies of 2D chirality, respectively. Previously, we have reported the folding of a conjugated chain-like molecule oligo(o-phenyleneethynylene-alt-p-phenyleneethynylene) (Foldamer 1) which is constructed from alternating ortho-Phenyleneethynylene (o-PE) and para-phenyleneethynylene (p-PE) units (Figure 1 a) into a helical conformation. This helical structure imparted novel characteristics to the system. In the current work, two different molecular
