Thermodynamic and structural variations along the olivenite–libethenite solid solution

Abstract 2 (AsO4)(OH)–Cu2 (PO4)(OH)) solid solution as a model system for the P–As substitution in secondary minerals. The synthetic samples spanned the entire range from pure olivenite (X lib = 0) to libethenite (X lib = 1). Acid-solution calorimetry determined that the excess enthalpies are non-ideal, with a maximum at X lib = 0.6 of + - 1 ex =  X oli ⋅ X lib A + B (X oli - X lib A = 6.27  ± B = 2.9  ± - 1 X lib = 0.5 showed that there is no P–As ordering, meaning that the configurational entropy (S conf - R (X oli ln⁡ X oli + X lib ln⁡ X lib S vib ex S conf + S vib ex X lib = 0.6. Autocorrelation analysis of infrared spectra suggests local heterogeneity that arises from strain relaxation around cations with different sizes (As5 +/5 + ≈ 15  Å), the strain is partially compensated by the monoclinic–orthorhombic transformation. The volume of mixing shows complex behavior, determined by P–As substitution and symmetry change. A small (0.9 kJ mol- 1 X lib = 0.7 –0.8 confirms the change from monoclinic to orthorhombic symmetry.
