Let A and X be spaces. Then as is wellknown, [∑A, X] is a group where ∑ denotes the suspension. We wish to find conditions on A which will imply that this group is abelian for all spaces X, that is, ∑A is homotopy-commutative. This is equivalent to saying that conii A≤ 1 (see [2] for definition). Our results contain relations between conil A and the generalised Whitehead product of [1]. We work in the category of complexes with base points.

The triple Whitehead product we consider in this note is [[ɩn, ɩn], ɩn] ∈ π3n−2(Sn), where ɩn generates πn(Sn). It follows from the Jacobi identity for Whitehead productsα ∈ πp(X), β ∈ πq(X), γ ∈ πr(X), that 3[[ɩn, ɩn], ɩn] = 0. Now, if n is odd, 2[ɩn, ɩn] = 0, so that 2[[ɩn, ɩn], ɩn] = 0, whence

A non-pathological example is given of two topological spaces which have isomorphic homotopy groups, homology groups and cohomology ring and which cannot be distinguished from each other by the Whitehead product structure. A family of examples can be constructed likewise.
