We classify the homotopy types of reduced 2-nilpotent simplicial groups in terms of the homology an d boundary invariants $b,\beta$. This contains as special cases results of J.H.C. Whitehead on 1-connected 4-dimensional complexes and of Quillen on reduced 2-nilpotent rational simplicial groups. Moreover it yields for 1-nilpotent (or abelian) simplicial groups a classification due to Dold-Kan. Our result describes a new natural structure of the integral homology of any simply connected space. We also classify the homotopy types of connective spectra in the category of 2-nilpotent simplicial groups. Moreover we compute homotopy groups of spheres in the category of $m$-nilpotent groups for $m=2,3$ and partially for $m=4,5$.
