The title materials display anomalous electrical, magnetic and optical properties. They have the characteristics of Mott insulators showing high electrical resistance and ligand-field optical spectra, but at the same time they adopt a magnetic ground state which is neither of Curie-Weiss type nor indeed of some standard antiferromagnetically ordered condition. The observed state is one of lowish, isotropic, and almost temperature-independent paramagnetism. The authors have studied the magnetic properties of Sc-doped TiOX, seeking possible indications of the existence of the resonant valence bond or RVB state-the state currently suggested by some to be responsible for high-temperature superconductivity in the mixed-valence cuprates. It is necessary to distinguish between RVB and some extreme case of magnetic frustration in these S=1/2, 2D oxyhalide systems. The authors' tentative conclusion is that TiOX presents an RVB ground state which Sc doping renders glassy and static.
