We have measured the magnetic torque of TPP[Fe(Pc)Br<inf>2</inf>]<inf>2</inf>and TPP[Fe(Pc)Cl<inf>2</inf>]<inf>2</inf>to clarify their magnetic state, comparing our results with those of formerly performed experiments on TPP[Fe(Pc)CN<inf>2</inf>]<inf>2</inf>. The conductors in this family exhibit giant negative magnetoresistance. We employed the cantilever magnetometry technique with our newly developed calibration method to obtain absolute values of the torque (J/rad Fe mol), enabling the comparison between experimental and calculated results. With decreasing temperature, the antiferromagnetic ordering of the \pi electron is found to occur at {\sim}13 K, and then the antiferromagnetic short-range ordering of the d electron follows at {\sim}8 K in these two salts. Our anisotropic one-dimensional Heisenberg model can explain 1) the susceptibility data quantitatively, 2) the torque curves quantitatively, which were obtained when the magnetic field was rotated in the ac-plane, and 3) the behavior of the d electron in the torque curves qualitatively, which were obtained by rotating the field in the ab-plane. By combining our model with the antiferromagnetic model for the \pi electron, the experimental torque data on TPP[Fe(Pc)Br<inf>2</inf>]<inf>2</inf>and TPP[Fe(Pc)Cl<inf>2</inf>]<inf>2</inf>are satisfactorily described. In addition, we could also successfully obtain the anisotropy energy in the antiferromagnetic state.
