We observe unusual lattice dynamics as well as evidence for an orbital instability preceding the spin-Peierls transition in TiPO4. Furthermore, there exist high energy excitations of mixed electronic and lattice origin that suggest an exotic dimerization process, different from other spin-Peierls materials. Therefore, the energy gain is related to magnetoelastic and orbital contributions.
