We report on a Raman scattering study on the Na₅RbCu₄(AsO₄)₄Cl₂ compound with a remarkable layered lattice structure comprised of antiferromagnetically coupled square Cu₄O₄ tetramers and a magnetic transition at T_N=17K. Due to the asymmetric exchange paths and the missing inversion centers an unique spectrum of magnetic excitations is observed and analyzed theoretically. This work has been supported partly by the ESF-HFM.
