Rare earth tin antimonides, RESn{sub x}Sb{sub 2} (RE = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) were synthesized by stoichiometric combination of the elements at high temperature. For the La compound, Sn content was varied from 0.1 {le} x {le} 0.8 and the crystal structure of x = 0.75 is reported. LaSn{sub 0.75}Sb{sub 2} crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group D{sup 17}{sub 2h}-Cmcm.
