An unexpectedly high antiferromagnetic transition temperature (TN = 130 K) has been observed in the double perovskite Ba2154SmMoO6 as a result of a strong interplay between spin, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom. A variable temperature neutron diffraction study of Ba2154SmMoO6 demonstrates that the orbital order below TN is as a result of a Jahn-Teller distortion of the MoO6 octahedra.
