Abstract
Specific heat studies of structurally layered powdered Ni(C5H5N)(2)Ni(CN)(4 ) have been carried out from 100 mK to 2.5 K in zero magnetic field. A lamb da-like anomaly with a strong rounding-off observed at 0.9 K might be ascri bed to the phase transition into the magnetically ordered state. Consequent ly, easy-axis type of anisotropy introduced by C5H5N enabled analysing the system using a 2d S = 1/2 Ising model for the square lattice and a Schottky anomaly yielding D/k(B) = -1.9 K and \J/k(B)\ = 0.35 K.
