Jahn-Teller (JT) magnets are compounds based on Jahn-Teller 3d- and 4d-ions with the t2gn_1e_gn_2 configurations in a highly symmetric surroundings and with a ground state orbital E-doublet which are characterized by competition of various electronic degrees of freedom and strong electron-lattice interaction. In this paper, we present a generalized model of effective charge triplets, which allows, within a unified approach and in the most general form, to take into account charge, spin, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom for so-called single-band JT-magnets such as rare-earth nickelates RNiO3. Keywords: Jahn-Teller magnets, charge triplet model, effective spin-pseudospin-orbital hamiltonian, electron-lattice interaction.
