The density, speed of sound and refractive index of thiophene + octane, [HMIm]Br, or [OMIm]Br have been measured.
Various volumetric parameters such as excess partial molar volume have been calculated.
The repulsive interactions between [HMIm]Br and thiophene are stronger than [OMIm]Br.
The scaled particle theory (SPT) was used to interpretation of volumetric results.
