Reasons for the low reliability of the Compare e.g. former results cited in [3][4] with our results in [3]. H‐NMR estimation of the dimerisation constant of caffeine in D 2 O are discussed. The main reasons are ( 1 ) strong influence of small variations in the monomer shifts δ 0 which are to be determined by extrapolation, and ( 2 ) disturbance by the formation of higher oligomers. The dilemma ist that attempts to minimize errors from ( 1 ) increase the influence of ( 2 ) and vice versa .
