Abstract: We explore the behaviour of the inverse reduced density fluctuations and the isobaric expansion coefficient using α,ω-dibromoalkanes as an example. Two different states are revealed far from the critical point: the region of exponentially decaying fluctuations near the coexistence curve and the state with longer correlations under sufficiently high pressures. The crossing of the isotherms of the isobaric expansion coefficient occurs within the PVT range of the mentioned transition. We discuss the interplay of this crossing with the changes in molecular packing structure connected with the analysed function of the density, which represents inverse reduced volume fluctuations.
