Unexpected lines in the acoustic paramagnetic resonance spectrum of KMgF 3 :Ni 2+ are assigned to second nearest neighbour and more distant Ni 2+ ion pairs. Exchange parameters are deduced for the pairs, and the mechanism for their spin-phonon interaction is inferred to be the single-ion, ( S 1 . d . S 1 ) + ( S 2 - d . S 2 ) process.
