¹ H NMR chemical shifts δ_OH of the proton in the hydroxyl group of n-butanol and tert-butanol have been measured as function of mixture composition in the binary mixtures n-butanol + cyclohexane, tert-butanol + cyclohexane, and n-butanol + pyridine at 303, 313 and 323 K. In addition the molar excess enthalpy H^E of n-butanol + pyridine has been determined as a function of the mixture composition at 298 K using a flow calorimeter. The ERAS (extended real associated solution) model has been applied for describing simultaneously the data of δ_OH and H^E for n-butanol + cyclohexane accounting for self association of n-butanol via hydrogen bonding. The mixture of n-butanol + pyridine was treated similarly using the ERAS model considering self association of n-butanol as well as cross association of n-butanol with pyridine. The results obtained indicate that self association in n-butanol and tert-butanol as well as cross association between n-butanol and pyridine play an important role in these mixtures. The ERAS model is able to describe the dependence of δ_OH and H^E on mixture composition and temperature for all mixtures with a minimum of adjustable parameters providing a realistic insight into the liquid structure of these systems.
