18. Two recent Letters, and A. Podlesnyak [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 247208 (2006)] reported evidence of a mixed LS-HS Co3+ spin-state at intermediate temperatures. Using model calculations on octahedral CoO6 clusters, explicitly including the Co-O hybridization, it was found that the lowest energy state should be the mixed LS-HS Co3+-ion state, rather than a IS state for 80K
