This CrystEngComm Hot article looks at the changes in the magnetic behaviour of Cu(II)-p-hydroquinoanate polymers that occur with structural modification and the loss of DMF ligands. These findings could lead to a new way of preparing novel spin lattices, adding a new tool to the crystal engineers toolbox.
