Conclusions 1. PVBA molecules were deposited on clean Pd(111) to form selfassembled nanostrucutres with organic molecular beam epitaxy system. 2. Dimer and trimer structures formed with strong hydrogen bond strongly depend on molecular chiral symmetry and the substrate orientation. 3. Interaction energy due to molecular symmetry with lattice competes with the one due to overlap between aromatic rings and hollow sites. 4. The orientation and configuration of self-assembly could be modified by applying strong force on single molecules during tip scanning.
