Karl Andreas Hofmann (2 April 1870 – 15 October 1940) was a German inorganic chemist. He is: best known for his discovery of a family of clathrates which consist of a 2-D metal cyanide sheet, with every second metal also bound axially——to two other ligands. These materials have been named 'Hofmann clathrates' in his honour.
