The newly synthesized oxoselenite compound Fe2O(SeO3)2 hosts Fe ions in distorted tetrahedral coordination. An anomalous gain in phonon intensity observed within the ferromagnetically ordered phase (TC = 105 K) hints towards an enhanced electronic polarizability and related giant magnetoelectric coupling. Further anomalous modes of possible magnetic origin are discussed in connection with a strong Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Work supported by DFG Project LE967/16-1.
