Abstract: Experimental determination of ultrasonic velocities and fluid densities across varied temperature states yields critical baseline data needed to map hydrogen bond associations and molecular packing dynamics in multi-component chemical systems. This paper presents the measurement of ultrasonic velocity (u), density (rho), and dynamic viscosity (eta) for binary liquid mixtures of isobutanol with diethylamine, triethylamine, and cyclohexylamine across the entire composition matrix at temperatures of 298.15 K, 308.15 K, and 318.15 K under atmospheric pressure. From these raw data metrics, excess molar volumes (V^E) and excess isentropic compressibilities (kappa_s^E) were calculated. The calculated excess datasets were successfully fitted to the Redlich-Kister polynomial expression to compute the binary interaction coefficients and standard deviations. All investigated binary mixtures exhibited significant negative excess molar volumes (V^E) and negative excess isentropic compressibilities (kappa_s^E) across all composition bounds. These strong negative deviations reveal dense interstitial molecular packing and strong intermolecular hydrogen bond formation between the hydroxyl protons of isobutanol and the amine nitrogen centers, which decrease in intensity as thermal motion breaks the dipole networks.
