description An experimental study of the rotational magnetocaloric effect in Ni(<i>en</i>)(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>4</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>∙2H<sub>2</sub>O (<i>en</i> = ethylenediamine) single crystal is presented. The study was carried out at temperatures above 2 K and was associated with adiabatic crystal rotation between the easy plane and hard axis in magnetic fields up to 7 T. The magnetocaloric properties of the studied system were investigated by isothermal magnetization measurement. The experimental observations were completed with ab initio calculations of the anisotropy parameters. A large rotational magnetic entropy change ≈12 Jkg<sup>−1</sup>K<sup>−1</sup> and ≈16.9 Jkg<sup>−1</sup>K<sup>−1</sup> was achieved in 5 T and 7 T, respectively. The present study suggests a possible application of this material in low-temperature refrigeration since the adiabatic rotation of the single crystal in 7 T led to a cooldown of the sample from the initial temperature of 4.2 K down to 0.34 K. Finally, theoretical calculations show that <i>S</i> = 1 Ni(II)-based systems with easy-plane anisotropy can have better rotational magnetocaloric properties than costly materials containing rare-earth elements in their chemical structures.
