17. The second crystal was untwinned. In contrast, the first crystal contains the common defect "180° twinning" [Y. Zhang, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 76, 184105 (2007)], that led to structural reflections with either -h+k+l=3n or h-k+l=3n, preventing an intensity analysis. 10.1103/PhysRevB.76. 184105

23. The crystallographic symmetry follows the CO symmetry due to atom shifts accompanying the CO. See, e.g., M. Angst, Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 086403 (2007). PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.086403
