Abstract Mn-based superconductors are very rare and their superconductivity has only been reported in three-dimensional MnP and quasi-one-dimensional KMn$_{6}$Bi$_{5}$ and RbMn$_{6}$Bi$_{5}$ with [Mn$_{6}$Bi$_{5}$]$^{-}$ columns under high pressures. Here we report the synthesis, magnetism, electrical resistivity, and specific heat capacity of the newly discovered quasi-one-dimensional NaMn$_{6}$Bi$_{5}$. Compared with other $A$Mn$_{6}$Bi$_{5}$ ($A$ = K, Rb, and Cs), NaMn$_{6}$Bi$_{5}$ has abnormal Bi–Bi bond lengths and two antiferromagnetic-like transitions at 47.3 K and 51.8 K. Anisotropic resistivity and low-temperature non-Fermi liquid behavior are observed. Heat capacity measurement reveals that the Sommerfeld coefficient for NaMn$_{6}$Bi$_{5}$ is unusually large. Using first-principles calculations, an unusual enhancement of density of states near the Fermi level is demonstrated for NaMn$_{6}$Bi$_{5}$. The features make NaMn$_{6}$Bi$_{5}$ a more suitable platform to explore the interplay of magnetism and superconductivity.
