4. 2 pressed into pellets and contained in sealed Mo cells inside evacuated quartz tubes at 550 °C for 2 days with one intermediate grinding. For the X-ray diffraction measurements, the sample was sealed in a thin-wall capillary, 0.5 mm in diameter. Data (λ = 0.80160 Å, 2θ = 5-50°, Δ(2θ) = 0.001°) were collected at various temperatures with the high-resolution powder diffractometer on beamline ID31 at the ESRF, Grenoble. France. Data analysis was performed with the GSAS suite of Rietveld programs. Field-dependent magnetization measurements were performed between 2 and 300 K with a Quantum Design SQUID magnetometer.

8. High-resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction is an indirect probe of the nature of orbital ordering, and techniques such as resonant X-ray scattering and X-ray linear dichroism are needed to give direct information about orbital occupancy.

10. The low-temperature reentrant phase transition appears to be sensitive to the cooling protocols employed in the course of the diffraction experiments.
