The process of self-assembly has been investigated by AFM analysis for three different bis-urea substituted toluene molecules, EHUT, 3EOUUT and C12EHUT with different side chains. Indirect measurements (neutron-scattering,...) and calculations led to conclude that in solution EHUT molecules can form long supramolecular nanotubes at specific conditions of temperature and concentration. Here, we studied the possibility to stabilize these nanotubes on a surface and see them directly by AFM. Our study, however, presents evidences for layered structures on mica with a quantized step-height of around 2 nm. We prove that within these layers the molecules are organized in a unique upward conformation and form ribbons through hydrogen bonding. Molecules with different side-groups, 3EOUUT and C12EHUT showed characteristic lamellar and triangular morphologies when deposited on graphite, reflecting the 3-fold anisotropy of the atomic lattice of graphite. The second layer in registry with the first layer was observed.
