Ferdinand Bohlmann ( 27 August 1921 - 23 September 1991) was a German chemist, known for his studies of plant natural products chemistry, especially terpenoids and polyynes.
In 1959 he succeeded Friedrich Weygand at the TU Berlin (1911–1969) at the Institute for Organic Chemistry, where he led a rapidly expanding working group.
[2] Bohlmann's main area of work was natural products chemistry, especially terpenes and polyynes.
[2] His collaboration with the biodiversity informatics working group at the Berlin Botanical Garden resulted in a system with which the chemical substances of the Compositae were made accessible in a database, the "Bohlmann Files".
The Bohlmann Lecture series was established in his honor in 1989 at the Institute for Chemistry at the TU Berlin.
