Anyone with a basic grasp on chemistry can come up with a compound, it only became exciting or important if the compound has any particularly useful traits, or you have found a useful synthesis intermediary. Without synthesising the compound yourself it's just another potential and uninteresting chemical

What is up with the sodium ring? Is it no possible to make a ring of Na?
Well nothing is a certainty in this universe. However, the valence electrons of sodium are the 3s1 orbital. In the molecule you have drawn the sodium atoms have formal negative charges. But as you will know, sodium chemistry is mostly dependent on the loss of that valence electron to form the common Na+ ion.

*3s orbital. Yes, as well as the issue of the extremely high barrier to sticking those negative charges on a sodium in the first place, trying to bring together all those negatively charged ions is not going to be a fruitful exercise! Impossible on multiple grounds.
The second one seems to be a bit different. Placing negative charge on sodium (highly electro-positive) and bringing the same charged species (negative) together will make it more unstable rather than creating a new compound.
