[Cu(HF{sub 2}){sub 2}(pyrazine)]{sub n} : a rectangular antiferromagnetic lattice with a spin exchange path made up of two different FHF{sup -} bridges.

Journal Article · · Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.
The two-dimensional antiferromagnet [Cu(HF{sub 2}){sub 2}(pyz)]{sub n} (pyz=pyrazine) has a rectangular lattice (see picture) displaying two types of FHF{sup -} bridging modes. The spin exchange through Cu-(FHF){sub 2}-Cu is about 90% stronger than through Cu-pyz-Cu, and the {mu}{sub 1,1}-coordinated FHF{sup -}, which is close in nature to F{sup -}---HF, is largely responsible for the exchange.
