Abstract
Indole‐5‐carboxylic acid trimer, a major product formed during the electro‐polymerization of indole‐5 carboxylic acid, was characterized by ^1^H NMR spectros‐copy, and a wide range of one‐ and two‐dimensional NMR techniques were employed to allow full analysis of the ^1^H spectrum. Homonuclear NOE experiments were carried out in different solvents and at different temperatures, owing to the unusual observation of negative enhancements in some experiments. This was shown to be due to the slow tumbling rate of the molecule.

Seven Pinus seed oils, previously examined by gas chromatography (Ref. [3]), have been re-examined by I~C-NMR spectroscopy. The spectra clearly indicate the presence of A5 acids (mainly a C1~ A5,9,12 isomer) and almost all the signals have been assigned on the basis of relevant data already in the l
