I'm wondering if there's a simple relation between the specific heat capacity (at constant chemical potential) and the Helmholtz Free Energy? I can't seem to find a relation in the literature between these three quantities, specifically.

There shouldn't be one...
Since [itex]dF = -S\, dT - p\, dV[/itex] or [itex]dF = -S\, dT - p\, dV + \mu \, dN[/itex], F can only be identified with work in isothermal process: [itex]\Delta F = \Delta W[/itex], and not with heat.
