The metal-organic compound [Cu(pz)2(2-OHpy)2](PF6)2 (CuPOF) is a molecular-based realization of the 2D square-lattice S = 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet with well-separated Cu(pz) layers and a moderate intraplane coupling J/kB=6.8 K. We present a focus study of the low-T phase transition to long-range order, performed via 1H and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance and bulk magnetometry. A weak intrinsic easy-plane anisotropy, revealed by magnetization data, yields a temperature-driven crossover of the spin-exchange anisotropy from isotropic Heisenberg to anisotropic XY-type behavior. The application of a magnetic field normal to the easy-plane yields a field-driven increase of the magnetic anisotropy with the occurrence of Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless correlations, revealed by results of the 31P spin-lattice relaxation rate close to the transition temperature to long-range order. A detailed analysis of the temperature-dependent order parameter demonstrates the possibility for a continuous tuning of the spin-exchange anisotropy in CuPOF, from almost ideal isotropic Heisenberg to nearly XY-type exchange at elevated fields.
