Kitaev materials are synonymous with quantum spin liquids, where due to a mix of different exchange interactions, they can house a range of exotic magnetic phenomena. Here, using a quantum chemical computational approach, the authors demonstrate the potentially important role anisotropic Coulomb exchange plays in the magnetic interactions of different Kitaev spin liquid candidate materials.
