31. In order to enforce the G-type antiferromagnetic configuration, we take advantage of the lattice being bipartite within a cubic structure and assume staggered periodic boundary conditions, in such a way that a site belonging to sublattice A is connected only to sites belonging to sublattice B, both within the defined unit cell and through the boundaries.

34. We considered only changes in σ bonding, neglecting possible small contributions from π -bonding energies. Considering π bonding would imply extending the present 5-band model to an 11-band model taking into account all three p orbitals on each oxygen. We have checked the validity of our 5-band model results, in terms of comparison with calculations of the 11-band model. We find the conclusions to remain unchanged, with the main changes to covalency energy coming from hybridization with apical oxygens, given by σ bonding.
