Brauner, Bohuslav (1855–1935)| Czech chemist. He was a leading authority on inorganic chemistry and conducted valuable research work on atomic weights (for example tellurium, 1889) and the rare earths, confirming the position of elements in Mendeleyev's periodic table. |
| Brauner was born in Prague and studied chemistry at Heidelberg under Robert Bunsen and at Owen's College, Manchester, under Henry Roscoe. He was appointed lecturer at Charles University, Prague, in 1882, and professor in 1897. From 1921 to 1931 he was a member of the International Committee on Chemical Elements. |
| Among his publications are Fluorescence (1887), Atomic Weight of Beryllium (1878), Chemistry of the Rare Earths (1882), Experimental Studies in the Periodic Law (1889), and Observations on Argon (1895). |
