Richards, Solid State Commun. 40, 1017 (1969), of which assignment of the space group, Immm, turned out to be inaccurate. Thus, we have constructed the crystal model with the correct space group of Imm2, and then fully optimized the crystallographic parameters by first principles calculations. The calculated lattice constants and atomic coordinates are available in Supplemental Information, Table S3 (Ref.).
