Electrical resistivity, specific-heat, and NMR measurements classify noncentrosymmetric ${\text{Mo}}_{3}{\text{Al}}_{2}\text{C}$ ($\ensuremath{\beta}\text{-Mn}$ type, space group $P{4}_{1}32$) as a strong-coupled superconductor with ${T}_{c}=9\text{ }\text{K}$ deviating notably from BCS-type behavior. The absence of a Hebbel-Slichter peak, a power-law behavior of the spin-lattice relaxation rate (from $^{27}\text{A}\text{l}$ NMR), an electronic specific heat strongly deviating from …
