  We present the investigation of a monoclinic compound SeCuO3 using x-ray
powder diffraction, magnetization, torque and electron-spin-resonance (ESR).
Structurally based analysis suggests that SeCuO3 can be considered as a 3D
network of tetramers. The values of intra-tetramer exchange interactions are
extracted from the temperature dependence of the susceptibility and amount to
~200 K. The inter-tetramer coupling leads to the development of long-range
antiferromagnetic order at TN = 8 K. An unusual temperature dependence of the
effective g-tensors is observed, accompanied with a rotation of macroscopic
magnetic axes. We explain this unique observation as due to site-selective
quantum correlations.
