Abstract

Magnetization measurements on single crystals and powders of

{Hg}_{2.86}

F_{6}

show flux expulsion when samples are cooled in a small magnetic field, indicating superconductivity below 4.1 K. The observation of anisotropic flux expulsion with magnitude dependent upon the orientation of the external field with respect to the crystalline axes confirms the anisotropic superconductivity first observed in conductivity measurements.
