Within the frames of the model of the polyassociative solutions the comparative analysis was performed of the formation parameters of multi-atom complexes in CdTe and Hg-Te systems. It was shown, that thermodynamical properties of the studied systems can be described in the supposition of the presence in the liquid phase of the ATe, A₂Te₃, ATe₂, A₂Te (A = Cd, Hg) and free Te, Cd, Hg atoms. In accordance with the model of polyassociative solutions the data on p–T–x equilibrium in the region of quasi-binary cross-section of Cd-Hg-Te system structural diagram were obtained. It was shown, that the mixing effects in the three-component liquid phase are satisfactorily described by the formation of CdHgTe and CdHgTe₃ associates. The good correspondence of the calculations and experiment in the high temperature part of the Cd-Hg-Te system structural diagram was achieved.
