Otto Josef Scherer (* 1933 in Amberg ) is a German chemist who is emeritus professor of inorganic chemistry at the University of Kaiserslautern .
From 1953, Scherer studied metallurgy at RWTH Aachen University and then chemistry in Aachen and at Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich (LMU). He received his doctorate from the LMU in 1962 under Max Schmidt , followed him to Würzburg and habilitated there in 1967. Since 1970, he has been a full professor of inorganic chemistry at the newly founded University of Kaiserslautern.
He deals with organometallic phosphorus and arsenic chemistry, especially the stabilization of naked phosphorus and arsenic ligands in transition metal complexes. He also dealt with elemental nitrogen compounds, especially SN and low-coordinate PN compounds.
In 1994 he received the Alfred Stock Memorial Prize .
