Simultaneous triangularization of a pair of matrices whose commutator has rank two

Let A,B be n×n matrices with entries in an algebraically closed field F of characteristic zero, and let C=AB?BA. It is shown that if C has rank two and AⁱB^jC^k is nilpotent for 0?i, j?n?1, 1?k?2, then A, B are simultaneously triangularizable over F. An example is given to show that this result is in some sense best possible.
