The name of the compound is 1-chloromethyl-4-fluoro-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis(tetrafluoroborate) (CAS #: 140681-55-6), which is commonly known as Selectfluor, a trademark of Air Products and Chemicals (see Waylander's comment elsewhere). Different view of the compound is given below (to you to understand the zig-zag feature):
Introduced in 1992, this organic salt is used as a fluorine donor in organic synthesis (Ref.1). For example of using Selectfluor as a source of fluorine, see Ref.2:

@SSimon - there are many compounds that can give an "F ion" -- i.e., fluoride. For example, NaF gives F ions when dissolved in water. It is sufficiently nontoxic that it is added to toothpaste and drinking water. However, the point of Selectfluor is that is does not donate an ion; it donates a neutral F which forms a covalent bond with the target. Any compound that can perform this function on a wide variety of organic compounds must be toxic. Why? Because people are made out of a wide variety of organic compounds, and we do not want to be fluorinated.

@SSimon - there are many compounds that can give an "F ion" -- i.e., fluoride. For example, NaF gives F ions when dissolved in water. It is sufficiently nontoxic that it is added to toothpaste and drinking water. However, the point of Selectfluor is that is does not donate an ion; it donates a neutral F which forms a covalent bond with the target. Any compound that can perform this function on a wide variety of organic compounds must be toxic. Why? Because people are made out of a wide variety of organic compounds, and we do not want to be fluorinated.
