Na2C60 is believed to be an electron-hole counterpart of the Mott-Jahn--Teller insulator A4C60 salts. We present a study of infrared, ESR, NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, chemical composition and neutron scattering on this compound. Our spectroscopic results at room temperature can be reconciled in a picture of segregated, separate regions of the size 3--10 nm. We observe a significant insulating C60 phase and at least two more phases, one of which we assign to metallic Na3C60. The separation disappears on heating by jump diffusion of the sodium ions, which we followed by neutron scattering. Above ~460 K we see infrared spectroscopic evidence of a Jahn--Teller distorted (C60)2- anion.
