The pseudo-ternary compound K(In{sub 6.5}Ag{sub 6.5}) has been synthesized from the elements and either excess indium or excess indium and silver. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that K(In{sub 6.5}Ag{sub 6.5}) crystallizes in the cubic space group Fm3-bar c, a=13.5101(6)A(Z=8), and adopts the NaZn{sub 13} structure type (R{sub 1}=0.0338). Four probe resistivity measurements show K(In{sub 6.5}Ag{sub 6.5}) to be a metal with a room temperature resistivity of 81{mu}{omega}cm and a weak temperature dependence.
