Georg Karl Brauer (11 April 1908 in Bochum – 26 February 2001 in Freiburg im Breisgau) was a German chemist.
He received his doctorate under supervision of Eduard Zintl in Freiburg in 1933.
[4][5] He investigated binary systems of transition metals, in particular of oxides, nitrides, carbides, and hydrides of niobium, tantalum, and vanadium.
[4][8] Many new compounds and several new structure types (Li3N,[9] Li3Bi, Al3Zr, ThSi2, NbO) were discovered during this research.
