In this study, inelastic neutron scattering (INS) from polycrystalline antiferromagnetic LaMnAsO, LaMnSbO, and BaMnAsF are analyzed using a $J_{1} - J_{2} - J_{c}$ Heisenberg model in the framework of the linear spin-wave theory. All three systems show clear evidence that the nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor interactions within the Mn square lattice layer ( $J_{1}$ and $J_{2}$ ) are both antiferromagnetic (AFM). However, for all compounds studied the competing interactions have a ratio of $2 J_{2} / J_{1} < 1$ , which favors the square lattice checkerboard AFM structure over the stripe AFM structure. The interplane coupling $J_{c}$ in all three systems is on the order of $~ 3 \times 10^{- 4} J_{1}$ , rendering the magnetic properties of these systems with quasi-two-dimensional character. The substitution of Sb for As significantly lowers the in-plane exchange coupling, which is also reflected in the decrease of the Néel temperature, $T_{N}$ . Although BaMnAsF shares the same MnAs sheets as LaMnAsO, their $J_{1}$ and $J_{2}$ values are substantially different. Lastly, using density functional theory, we calculate exchange parameters $J_{i j}$ to rationalize the differences among these systems.
