We present an experimental and theoretical study of the quasi-one-dimensional s = 1/2 Heisenberg magnet linarite PbCuSO4(OH)2, with competing ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor and antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor exchange interactions. It includes magnetization and NMR studies as well as theoretical simulations for the determination of the leading exchange couplings, which are about an order of magnitude higher as determined previously.[1] Furthermore, a manifold of field-induced phases are probed, from which we draw a preliminary phase diagram. Notably, spin-lattice relaxation investigations indicate that linarite might undergo a magnetic quadrupolar spin liquid phase transition as recently predicted for such materials.[2]
