N2 - A new ternary intermetallic compound Nb6Sn1.5Ge1.5 has been synthesized by the self-flux method using molten tin as a solvent. Well- developed facets of the crystal are [110] planes. The crystal structure is tetragonal (space group D4h18 I4mcm: this ternary compound basically has a W5Si3-type structure. The lattice parameters are a = 10.45 (0) A ̊ and c = 5.192(0) A ̊, V = 566.97(9) A ̊3, Z = 4, and the X-ray density Dx is 8.80 g cm-3 at room remperature. This compound does not show superconductivity down to 1.4 K.
