We present structural, magnetic and spectroscopic studies of a new multiferroic Ni2MnTeO6, closely related to the polar antiferromagnet Ni3TeO6 known to
present a colossal magnetoelectric effect and electromagnons. Single crystals and polycrystalline samples show the same polar structure as Ni3TeO6 with
the R3 space group down to 4 K. An antiferromagnetic phase transition takes place at approximately TN=70 K, almost 20 K higher than that of Ni3TeO6. This was
confirmed by magnetic and dielectric measurements, suggesting the multiferroic character of the compound. Extensive infrared, Raman and THz spectroscopy experiments
revealed all phonons predicted by the factor group analysis. THz spectra reveal one new excitation below TN, which is strongly influenced by external magnetic field,
thus assigned to a magnon.
