We have performed magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, muon spin relaxation, and neutron-scattering measurements on three members of the family Ba₃MRu₂O₉, where M=In, Y, and Lu. These systems consist of mixed-valence Ru dimers on a triangular lattice with antiferromagnetic interdimer exchange. Although previous work has argued that charge order within the dimers or intradimer double exchange plays an important role in determining the magnetic properties, our results suggest that the dimers are better described as molecular units due to significant orbital hybridization, resulting in one spin-1/2 moment distributed equally over the two Ru sites. These molecular building blocks form a frustrated, quasi-two-dimensional triangular lattice. Our zero- and longitudinal-field μSR results indicate that the molecular moments develop a collective, static magnetic ground state, with oscillations of the zero-field muon spin polarization indicative of long-range magnetic order in the Lu sample. In conclusion, the static magnetism is much more disordered in the Y and In samples, but they do not appear to be conventional spin glasses.
