Due to the combination of lone-pair ferroelectricity and d-electron magnetism high T_c multiferroicity is observed in many transition metal oxohalides [1,2]. The new type-I multiferroic Cu₉O₂(SeO₃)₄Cl₆ exhibits long range magnetic ordering at T_N = 37 K and a polar ordering at T_E = 270 K [3]. Our Raman study reveals signs of both magnetic and electric phase transitions: spin-phonon coupling below T_N, appearance of new lines of magnetic origin for T<T^* = 16 K, and a symmetry lowering for T<T_E. Evidence for an additional lattice instability at 100 K is reported. Work supported by NUST "MISiS" Grant No. K2-2017-084. [1] L. Zhao, et al., Sci. Adv. 2, e1600353 (2016). [2] H. C.
