Single crystals of the ternary iron chalcogenides RbFeSe₂, TlFeS₂, and TlFeSe₂ (with linear chains consisting of FeX₄ tetrahedra, X=S, Se) have been investigated by means of magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, specific heat and ESR measurements. All three compounds exhibit three-dimensional collinear antiferromagnetic order with strongly reduced moments below T_N=248K, 196K, and 290K, respectively. The magnetic moments are oriented perpendicular to the chain direction. The specific heat measurements of TlFeX₂ (X=S, Se) do not show any anomaly at T_N[1], while there is a λ anomaly in RbFeSe₂. However, the calculated entropy value for RbFeSe₂ is much smaller than expected for a low-spin S=1/2 Fe³⁺ spin system. The linear increase of the paramagnetic susceptibility and ESR intensity of RbFeSe₂ and TlFeX₂ (X=S, Se) strongly suggests a one-dimensional metallic character.
