About Bohuslav Brauner
- Bohuslav Brauner (May 8, 1855 – February 15, 1935) was a Czech chemist. Brauner was a student of Robert Bunsen at the University of Heidelberg and later of Henry Roscoe at the University of Manchester.
- Brauner became lecturer for chemistry at the University of Prague in 1883 and professor in 1890.
- He worked on the chemistry of the lanthanides, and in 1902 proposed that an element was missing between neodymium and samarium; it was later found to be promethium.
- Brauner's conflict with Carl Auer von Welsbach about the priority for the discovery that didymium is a mixture of two elements (praseodymium and neodymium) was harsh.
- However, in the end Brauner withdrew his claims for unknown reasons.
