Abstract The magnetic properties of Ba3TiRu2O9, whose crystal structure is based on stacked triangular planar lattices of M2O9 dimers and single MO6 octahedra, are reported. The system is magnetically disturbed by a substantial amount of Ti/Ru chemical disorder. The Weiss temperature and effective magnetic moment were found to be −29.5 K and 1.82 μB/f.u. respectively, and a bifurcation in the zero field cooled and field cooled magnetic susceptibility is observed below 4.7 K, suggesting that this is a compositionally-disordered spin-glass system. The material is a semiconductor with an activation energy for charge transport of approximately 0.14 eV.
