Here we investigate the interplay of magnetic ordering and lattice distortion across the Nel temperature under pressure using neutron and X-ray diffraction. We find an increase of with a rate of = +4.5(5) K/GPa, an increase of the rhombohedral distortion by = +0.018/GPa, as well as a volume striction which is insensitive to pressure. These results allow to retrieve the dependence of the coupling constants and on interatomic distances and compare it to first-principles predictions. Antiferromagnetic diffuse scattering was observed up to 1.2 , and long-range magnetic order appears at room temperature at 42 GPa.
