The mixed spin-(1/2,1) Ising chain with axial and rhombic zero-field splitting parameters in a presence of the longitudinal magnetic field is exactly solved within the framework of decoration-iteration transformation and transfer-matrix method. Our particular emphasis is laid on an investigation of the influence of the rhombic term, which is responsible for an onset of quantum entanglement between two magnetic states S_k^z = 1 and -1 of the spin-1 atoms. It is shown that the rhombic term gradually destroys a classical ferrimagnetic order in the ground state and simultaneously causes diversity in magnetization curves including intermediate plateau regions, regions with a continuous change in the magnetization as well as several unusual field-induced transitions accompanied with magnetization jumps. Another interesting findings concern with an appearance of the round minimum in the temperature dependence of susceptibility times temperature data, the double-peak zero-field specific heat curves and the enhanced magnetocaloric effect. The temperature dependence of the specific heat with three separate maxima may also be detected when driving the system through the axial and rhombic zero-field splitting parameters close enough to a phase boundary between the ferrimagnetic and disordered states and applying sufficiently small longitudinal magnetic field.
