Georg Brauer Explained

Georg Karl Brauer (11 April 1908 in Bochum  - 26 February 2001 in Freiburg im Breisgau) was a German chemist.[1]

Life

Brauer was the son of the chemist Eberhard Brauer and Elisabeth Brauer, a daughter of Wilhelm Ostwald.[2] From 1926 to 1932, Brauer studied in Leipzig and Freiburg. He received his doctorate under supervision of Eduard Zintl in Freiburg in 1933.[3] In 1941, he received is habilitation at the TH Darmstadt. In 1946, he became an extraordinary professor in Freiburg. From 1959 to 1976, he was a full professor. Starting in 1976, he was a emeritus professor.

Research

Brauer's research included the chemistry and crystal chemistry of intermetallic compounds and alloys.[4] [5] He investigated binary systems of transition metals, in particular of oxides, nitrides, carbides, and hydrides of niobium, tantalum, and vanadium.[6] [7] His research also focused on oxides of rare-earth metals.[8] Many new compounds and several new structure types (Li3N,[9] Li3Bi, Al3Zr, ThSi2, NbO) were discovered during this research.

Awards

In 1971, he received the Lebeau medal.

Publications

Georg Brauer was the editor of the "Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry".[10] [11] [12]
