We demonstrate that the quasiperiodic order of surfaces can be transferred to 2D adsorbate systems by investigating the self-assembly of the nano graphene molecule coronene on the icosahedral(i)-Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystalline surfaces using multiple surface sensitive techniques. We find a quasiperiodic ordering of coronene on the i-Al-Pd-Mn surface which can be explained qualitatively by the P1 Penrose tilling. Using angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we observe a 5-fold symmetric modulation of the photoemission intensity distribution in the kx-ky-plane with a clear band dispersion along the high symmetry axis in momentum space. The latter suggests a direct correlation between the energy and momenta of the electrons in the quasicrystal and the rotational symmetry of the system. Moreover, the pseudogap of the bare Al-Pd-Mn persists even after the adsorption of the aperiodically ordered coronene confirming the quasiperiodic nature of the interface.
