There are a variety of ways to do this sort of calculation. The
simplest is to just remove an acetonitrile molecule, and re-run the
simulation (at constant pressure), then compare the volumes.
An overview of a variety of approaches is here:

%P 8407-8415
Note that the method referred to in the title is not necessarily the
best way to go in all circumstances. Another good article, focussed on
proteins, but which has a good discussion of the physics involved:
%A E.A. Ploetz
%A P.E. Smith
%T Infinitely Dilute Partial Molar Properties of Proteins from Computer Simulation

...hope this helps....dac
