Two M 2 (SeO 3 )F 2 fluoro-selenites (M = Mn 2+ , Ni 2+ ) have been synthesized using optimized hydrothermal reactions. Their 3D framework consists of 1D-[MO 2 F 2 ] 4- chains of edge-sharing octahedra with a rare topology of alternating O-O and F-F μ 2 bridges. The interchain corner-sharing connections are assisted by the mixed O vs F anionic nature and develop a complex set of M-X-M superexchanges as calculated by LDA+ U . Their interplay induces prominent in-chain antiferromagnetic frustration, while the interchain exchanges are responsible for the cycloidal magnetic structure observed below T N ≈ 21.5 K in the Ni 2+ case. For comparison the Mn 2+ compound develops a nearly collinear spin (canted) ordering below T N ≈ 26 K with ferromagnetic chain units.
