The frustration of the trinuclear clusters with antiferromagnetic intraclus
ter interaction was investigated at low temperature and in applied magnetic
field, by Mossbauer, susceptibility and magnetisation measurements. The sp
in configuration and the electronic state are described as a function of th
e temperature and the intensity of the applied field. The values of the exc
hange integrals are provided. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights res
