ABSTRACT=<p>Aiming to produce new neutron-rich nuclei at <italic>N</italic> = 126, the multi-nucleon transfer reactions <sup>136</sup>Xe+<sup>194</sup>Ir, <sup>208</sup>Pb are investigated by using the GRAZING model and the three-dimensional time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) approach. Deexcitation processes of the primary fragments are taken into account in both models. Comparison with the experimental data of <sup>136</sup>Xe+<sup>208</sup>Pb at <italic>E</italic><sub>c.m.</sub> = 450 MeV indicates that the isotopic production cross sections around the entrance channel can be well reproduced by both models. The results of GRAZING indicate that <sup>136</sup>Xe+<sup>194</sup>Ir is a promising candidate for producing new neutron-rich isotones with <italic>N</italic> = 126. The limitation of using TDHF to investigate multi-nucleon transfer reactions is also discussed.</p>
