Relative permittivities at 1 MHz, ε_r, and refractive indices at the sodium D-line, n_D, are reported at 0.1 MPa and at (293.15-303.15) K for the binary systems 1-alkanol + di-n-propylamine (DPA). Their corresponding excess functions are calculated and correlated. For the methanol mixture, positive values of the excess permittivities, ε_r^E, are found. Except at high concentrations of the alcohol in the 1-propanol mixture, the remaining systems show negative values of this property. This fact reveals that the creation of (1-alkanol)-DPA interactions contributes positively to ε_r^E, being this contribution dominant in the methanol mixture. The negative contributions arising from the disruption of interactions between like molecules are prevalent in the other mixtures. At ϕ_1(volume fraction) = 0.5, ε_r^E changes in the sequence: methanol > 1-propanol > 1-butanol > 1-pentanol < 1-heptanol. An analogous variation with the chain length of the 1-alkanol is observed in mixtures such as 1-alkanol + heptane, + cyclohexylamine or + n-hexylamine (HxA). Moreover, for a given 1-alkanol, ε_r^E is larger for DPA than for HxA mixtures, suggesting that in DPA solutions multimers with parallel alignment of the molecular dipoles are favoured and cyclic multimers are disfavoured when compared to HxA mixtures. The ((∂ε_r)⁄(∂T)_p )values are higher for the mixtures than for pure 1-alkanols, because (1-alkanol)-DPA interactions are stronger than those between 1-alkanol molecules. Calculations on molar refractions indicate that dispersive interactions in the systems under study increase with the chain length of the 1-alkanol and are practically identical to those in HxA solutions. The considered mixtures are treated by means of the Kirkwood-Fröhlich model, reporting the Kirkwood correlation factors and their excess values.
