The heat capacity and thermal expansion of potassium heptafluorotantalate were studied. The room temperature phase P21/c is stable at least to 4 K. The strong first-order phase transition P21/cPnma at T0=486.2K is accompanied by giant changes in the entropy, ΔS0=22.3J(molK)1, and volume strain, δV0/V=3.6%. A rather high sensitivity of K2TaF7 to pressure was found, dT0/dp=220KGPa1. Significant extensive and intensive barocaloric effects are found at low pressure. The possibility of improving the barocaloric properties is discussed.
