Tin nitrides (Sn 3 N 4 ) prepared by the reaction of Sn‐halides with KNH2 in liquid ammonia and a subsequent vacuum annealing procedure were investigated with transmission mode XAFS experiments. While the near edge data suggest the presence of a univalent Sn‐compound with a valency close to +4, the analysis of the extended X‐ray absorption fine structure proves the presence of two different local Sn sites in this crystal structure: While Sn(1) is surrounded by 4 nitrogen in a distance of 2.06 Å, each Sn(2) ion is coordinated with 6 nitrogen at about 2.17 Å radial distance.
