Significance of findings so far
Neutron scattering required to classify quantum spin liquids
Systems thought to be one dimensional may
represent a richer class of materials
Experimental realizations of spin liquids were
sought, not found, in symmetric frustrated magnets
Spin liquids may be more abundant in complex
geometrically frustrated lattices

ConclusionsSpin systems with a gap can be mistaken for being
quasi-one-dimensional Two and three dimensional moment free
magnetism found in PHCC and CuHpClNeutron scattering reveals frustrated bonds in the
corner-sharing triangular clusters of these materialsHypothesis: Moment free magnetism may be a
common state of interacting spin systems with triangular motif and weak connectivity
Idea: Novel strongly correlated transport may occur if the materials can be doped
