The discovery of two-dimensional oxide quasicrystals (OQC) has caused a great amount of interest in aperiodic structure formation from perovskite materials on metal surfaces [1]. In recent years, a plethora of surface science techniques has been applied to OQCs to get an understanding of this peculiar materials system on the fundamental level [2]. In this contribution, we present low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and surface x-ray diffraction (SXRD) investigation of the largest unit cell approximant known so far in 2D systems. Its unit cell covers an area of approximately 44 Å × 44 Å and has p2gg symmetry. STM measurements show 48 atoms in the unit cell forming the vertices of 48 triangles, 18 squares and 6 rhombuses. The structure has been solved utilizing over 300 independent reflections measured by SXRD with an R-factor better than 0.20. From this analysis a profound understanding of the decoration of all tiles with Sr, Ti, and O ions is derived, which solves the structure of the parent OQC.
