Abstract The flexibility of the Sn‐Sn bond is acknowledged by the structural variety of compounds which are formed between tin and electropositive metals as minority components. As demonstrated for Na/Sn, already in the case of simple, binary systems a plethora of different structural motifs becomes obvious. Although the phase diagram of sodium and tin has been studied extensively for many years, the series of sodium stannides could be complemented by several new representatives during the last few years.
