We report an extraordinary pressure dependence of the magnetic interactions in the metal-
organic system [CuF 2 (H 2 O) 2] 2 pyrazine. At zero pressure, this material realizes a quasi-
two-dimensional spin-1/2 square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet. By high-pressure, high-
field susceptibility measurements we show that the dominant exchange parameter is
reduced continuously by a factor of 2 on compression. Above 18 kbar, a phase transition

We report an extraordinary pressure dependence of the magnetic interactions in the metal-organic system . At zero pressure, this material realizes a quasi-two-dimensional spin- square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet. By high-pressure, high-field susceptibility measurements we show that the dominant exchange parameter is reduced continuously by a factor of 2 on compression. Above 18 kbar, a phase transition occurs, inducing an orbital re-ordering that switches the dimensionality, transforming the quasi-two-dimensional lattice into weakly coupled chains. We explain the microscopic mechanisms for both phenomena by combining detailed x-ray and neutron diffraction studies with quantitative modeling using spin-polarized density functional theory.
