Rh2Mo3N, with a noncentrosymmetric $$\beta$$-manganese structure, has been found to be superconducting with critical temperature $$T_c$$ ≈ 4.3K. Magnetic field dependence of resistivity, magnetization, and specific heat measurements show that its upper critical field of $$μ_0H^\ast_{c2}$$ ~ 7.41 T comes close to, but does not exceed, the Pauli paramagnetic limit and that the 2Δ/$$k_\text{B}T_c$$ value of about 3.62 is in accordance with a conventional $$\mathcal{s}$$-wave superconductor. Andreev reflection spectroscopy measurements using both normal metal and half-metal demonstrate conclusively $$\mathcal{s}$$-wave pairing with an isotropic gap.
