As a person who is finally getting time to read papers in this field, I came across a Stack Overflow post [1] about newer functional data structures recently when looking for papers to put on my kindle for a long trip. The top answer to it has a tonne of links.

Tangentially related, but I am currently reading Pearls of Functional Algorithm Design [2] - It is fascinatingly well written (though it isn't strictly about data structures only).

I plan to read Fun of Programming [3] next which has a chapter on binary heap trees by Okasaki but the rest of the topics aren't quite about data structures.

Thank you. These, and the other answers, are great links. The Pearls book seems the right thing to get you thinking functionally.
