We report the discovery and detailed investigation of superconductivity in Mo4Ga20As. Mo4Ga20As crystallizes in a space group ofI4/m(No. 87), with the lattice parametersa= 12.86352 Å andc= 5.30031 Å. The resistivity, magnetization, and specific heat data reveal Mo4Ga20As to be a type-II superconductor withTc= 5.6 K. The upper and lower critical fields are estimated to be 2.78 T and 22.0 mT, respectively. In addition, electron-phonon coupling in Mo4Ga20As is possibly stronger than the BCS weak-coupling limit. First-principles calculations suggest the Fermi level being dominated by the Mo-4dand Ga-4porbitals.
