Abstract
The crystal structures of the hexagonal (P6 (sub 3) /m) end-member apatites with the formula Ca (sub 5) (PO (sub 4) ) (sub 3) X (X = F, OH, Cl) were refined to R = 0.025, 0.016 and 0.020 for fluorapatite, hydroxylapatite and chlorapatite, respectively. The atomic arrangements of fluorapatite, hydroxylapatite and chlorapatite suggest that these end-members are immiscible in solid solution.
