Several thermophysical properties have been studied for 2-acetylthiophene: (i) vapour pressure was determined at temperatures within 336.16–445.02 K; (ii) density, speed of sound, static permittivity, refractive index, surface tension, and kinematic viscosity were measured at p = 0.1 MPa and at temperatures from 278.15 K (or 283.15 K for the refractive index) to 338.15 K; (iii) volumetric properties were also determined at temperatures in the (283.15–338.15) K range and at pressures up to 65.0 MPa. From these experimental values, different derivative properties have been calculated such as enthalpy of vaporization, isobaric expansibility, isothermal and isentropic compressibility, dipole moment, entropy and enthalpy of surface formation, and dynamic viscosity. All experimental properties were correlated and the results were explained through the intermolecular interactions. Moreover PC-SAFT EoS was used to model the thermodynamic behaviour of the compound. Finally, this EoS combined with the Density Gradient Theory allowed obtaining the influence parameter for the surface tension of 2-acetylthiophene
