Cu6PS5Br1-xClx mixed crystals were grown by chemical vapour transport. Optical absorption edge and optical polarization measurements were performed in the temperature range 77-320 K. The influence of anionic Br -> Cl substitution on the phase transitions in Cu6PS5Br1-xClx mixed crystals is studied. Compositional dependence of the ferroelastic phase transition temperature for Cu6PS5Br1-xClx mixed crystals is obtained. The variation of optical parameters at ferroelastic phase transition is analyzed.
