We systematically investigate the normal and superconducting properties of noncentrosymmetric ${\mathrm{Re}}_{6}\mathrm{Zr}$ using magnetization, heat capacity, and electrical resistivity measurements. Resistivity measurements indicate ${\mathrm{Re}}_{6}\mathrm{Zr}$ has poor metallic behavior and is dominated by disorder. ${\mathrm{Re}}_{6}\mathrm{Zr}$ undergoes a superconducting transition at ${T}_{\mathrm{c}}=\left(6.75\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.05\right)$ K. Magnetization measurements give a lower critical field, ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{0}{H}_{\mathrm{c}1}=\left(10.3\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.1\right)$ mT. The …
