Gerhart Jander (26 October 1892 – 8 December 1961) was a German inorganic chemist.
His book, now normally only called "Jander-Blasius", on analytical chemistry is still used in German universities.
He joined Richard Zsigmondy at the University of Göttingen.
He became professor in 1925 and after a two-year period being a temporary director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical Chemistry and Elektrochemistry from 1933 till 1935 he became professor for inorganic chemistry at the University of Greifswald.
[1][2] The involvement of Jander in the research on chemical warfare and his influence on the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical Chemistry and Elektrochemistry after he followed Fritz Haber as director, who was forced to resign due to the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, have been a point of research of the Max Planck Society (The Max Planck Society is the successor organisation of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society).
