Gerhard Bergmann (chemist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gerhard Bergmann (born August 13, 1923 in Wolfenbüttel ; † May 7, 2016 ) was a German chemist and professor for analytical chemistry at the Ruhr University in Bochum .

Bergmann studied chemistry from 1945 at the Technical University of Braunschweig with a diploma in 1950 and a doctorate in 1953. After that he was group leader at the Institute for Spectrochemistry in Dortmund until 1962. He completed his habilitation in 1962 at the Clausthal University of Technology and was then a university lecturer. From 1965 to 1968 he was scientific publishing director at Verlag Chemie in Weinheim. From 1967 until his retirement in 1988 he was a professor at the Ruhr University in Bochum.

He dealt with spectrometric analysis methods for multi-component analysis including automatic evaluation with computers. To this end, he developed parameterization methods for the line shape of the spectral lines and documentation methods in molecular spectroscopy. He also dealt with the coupling of chromatographic and spectroscopic processes, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR, relaxation measurement, precision temperature control, two-dimensional Fourier transform NMR) and mass spectrometry. He developed a supra-regional information exchange of files and programs for spectroscopy.
