A unique place in the family of low-dimensional magnets occupies the Cu²⁺ compounds featuring a series of square-planar CuO₄ plaquettes connected via their edges, forming in this way a chain. The edge-shared plaquettes in Li₂CuO₂ show ferromagnetic ordering [1], whereas similar chains with increased Cu-O-Cu bond angle bridging neighboring Cu atoms in CuGeO₃, undergo a spin-Peierls transition [2]. A compound with a Cu-O-Cu angle essentially identical to the one in Li₂CuO₂ and isostructural to the famous Spin-Peierls system CuGeO₃ is spin-1/2 cuprate CuSiO₃ [3]. In a combined experimental-theoretical approach, we derive a new magnetic model of CuSiO₃, consistent with all reported experimental results.
