18. The term "antiferromagnetic" is used rather loosely here just to indicate the opposite alignment of magnetic moments. In the strict sense they also have to be equal in magnitude to cancel out the total magnetic moment.

24. Our results do not show a consistent correlation between bond lengths and type of alignment so as to assign the alignment of the magnetic moments to a Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) type of interaction; the magnetic alignment depends strongly on geometry and spin-multiplicity as well.
