Abstract
The low energy spectrum of spin-polarized clusters in layered cuprates is examined. Two types of clusters confining the motion of oxygen hol es are discussed. The ground state of the pentanuclear copper cluster has a total spin S = 2, whereas the one of the tetranuclear copper clu ster is characterised by S = 3/2. Anisotropic exchange coupling splits the magnetic ground state into a sequence of states, which in a natur al way provide e.g. an explanation of EPR data for La2CuO4+delta compo unds.
