Two-dimensional van der Waals(vdW) magnets research has been intensified recently due to their myriad of applications. For these applications, an understanding of coupling of the mechanical degrees of freedom to electronic and magnetic order is crucial. In this work, we employed thermodynamic methods to study the magnetoelastic coupling in 2D vdW Fe2P2S6 and Ni2P2S6. These materials belong to the class of transition metal chalcogenophosphates(M2P2S6), with XXZ- and Ising type antiferromagnetic order respectively. M(T) and Cp(T) on single crystals confirm AFM ordering in both Fe2P2S6(TN=118 K) and Ni2P2S6(TN=158 K). Our thermal expansion studies demonstrate positive thermal expansion coefficient along the crystallographic stacking axis, with signatures of magnetoelastic coupling by the onset of magnetic order for both Fe2P2S6 and Ni2P2S6 single crystals. We estimated the uniaxial pressure dependence of antiferromagnetic ordering temperature from heat capacity and thermal expansion.
