The coordination numbers in the molecular interaction volume model (MIVM) can be calculated from the common physical quantities of pure liquid metals. A notable feature of the model lie in its capability to predict the thermodynamic properties of solutes in the Zn-Pb-ln and Zn-Sn-Cd-Pb dilute solutions using only the binary infinite dilute activity coefficients, and the predicted values are in good agreement with the experimental data of the dilute solutions.
