In the process of studying the ternary system Sm-Ru-Sn, the sample of composition 30:10:60 was synthesized by high-temperature liquid-phase synthesis followed by annealing at 620 C. Crystals suitable for carrying out X-ray diffraction analysis were found on the surface of the sample. Further studies of the alloy were carried out by the methods of local X-ray spectral and X-ray phase analysis. According to the results of X-ray diffraction analysis, the intermetallic SmRu0.26(1)Sn2 crystallizes in a orthorhombic structure (space group Cmcm) with unit cell parameters a = 4.5398 (7) Å, b = 16.5651 (3) Å, c = 4.40448 (7) Å.
