  We report superconductivity in as synthesized Nb2PdSe5, which is similar to
recently discovered Nb2PdS5 compound having very high upper critical field,
clearly above the Pauli paramagnetic limit [Sci. Rep. 3, 1446 (2013)]. A bulk
polycrystalline Nb2PdSe5 sample is synthesized by solid state reaction route in
phase pure structure. The structural characterization has been done by X ray
diffraction, followed by Rietveld refinements, which revealed that Nb2PdSe5
sample is crystallized in monoclinic structure with in space group C2/m.
Structural analysis revealed the formation of sharing of one dimensional PdSe2
chains. Electrical and magnetic measurements confirmed superconductivity in
Nb2PdSe5 compound at 5.5K. Detailed magneto-resistance results, exhibited the
value of upper critical field to be around 8.2Tesla. The estimated Hc2(0) is
within Pauli Paramagnetic limit, which is unlike the Nb2PdS5.
