Abstract Solid solutions of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaOHA) and lead hydroxyapatite (PbOHA) of the formula Ca10−x Pbx (PO4)6 (OH)2 were prepared by coprecipitation followed by heating at 800°C in a stream of CO2-free water vapor of 1 atm. The samples were apatitic in the range 0<x<6 and contained lead phosphates as a second phase at higher Pb/Ca ratios. Lattice parameters and cation distribution of the apatitic samples were determined by X-ray diffraction. The lattice parameters varied linearly with x in the range considered, whereas all Pb2+ were located in the sixfold position for cations. There was a miscibility gap in the apatite series of solid solutions in the range 1<x<4, whereas apatites in the range 6<x<10 were not stable under the conditions of preparation. It is concluded that apatites in the range 4<x<6 represent a minimum in the free energy of solid solutions between CaOHA and PbOHA.
