Abstract
The structure of the diphosphate LiNi1.5P2O7 solved in our laboratory, shows that the Ni2+ ions are located in octahedra, which share a common edge and form trimer chains in a zigzag arrangement parallel to the b axis. The thermal evolution of the reciprocal magnetic susceptibility of LiNi1.5P2O7 shows an antiferromagnetic interactions (Θp = -5.7K). The specific heat presents a sharp maximum at 15K close to that observed in the temperature dependence of χ plot, indicates the existence of tridimensional magnetic transition. A weak maximum, detected towards 18K, can be attributed to a low dimensionality order (ID) owing to the presence of the trimer chains of Ni2+ ions.
