Spin-frustrated chains of Cr3 triangles are found in the new metal boride TiCrIr2B2 by synergistic experimental and theoretical investigations. Although magnetic ordering is found at 275 K, competing ferro- and anti-ferromagnetic interactions coupled with spin frustration induce a rather small total magnetic moment (0…
