We propose a graphical method to treat dilution shift in NMR spectra to determine the monomer shift, dimer shift and dimerization constant simultaneously and consistently for the system of monomer/dimer equilibrium. The salient features include avoiding error‐prone manual extrapolation to zero concentration to obtain a monomer shift, and providing consistent assessment and error estimation for the determination. The dilution shifts of 2‐isopropyl phenol in C 6 D 12 serve to demonstrate this graphical method. The enthalpy and entropy of dimerization are determined via a van't Hoff plot from the temperature variation of the dimerization constant.
