Default Question about acoustic Impedance of liquids

Hi,
can somone help me to find a liquid with a very low accoustic impedance
between -30 - 100 °C ( Not deuterium, Oxygen or something like that)
That means low density, low speed of sound, high compressibility

Thank you

Hans

Polydiethylsiloxanes (NOT polydimethylsiloxanes) will give you pour
points to -110 C across a broad range of room temperature
viscosities. DES-Txx product numbers. About $(US)1/gm

Next best is something like n-pentane or n-hexane, which are seriously
flammable. Low density and compressible. n-Hexane is mildy
neurotoxic. Avoid skin contact and breathing the vapor.

Methyl-T-branched polydimethylsiloxane (MTT-1015) is also fluid to
around -100 C.
