Summary:•The role and efficacy of fluoride as mediator of magnetic interactions is surveyed.•Synthetic routes to polynuclear, fluoride-bridged systems are discussed.•The challenges of combining fluoride and lanthanides is addressed.•Magnetic properties of 5d transition metal fluoride building blocks are reviewed. We review the past and current efforts towards interesting molecular, magnetic systems encompassing inter-metallic fluoride bridging. The efficacy of fluoride as mediator of magnetic interactions is addressed and the use of the structure-directing properties of the fluoride ion as a synthetic handle for polymetallic systems is established. Finally, the magnetic properties of selected examples of systems of increasing complexity are discussed.
