Re: A slash o ?? Cannot get it...
When I type Bro{\o}sted I get the right character. The {..} is ERT, of
course.

To terminate a command, if no other termination is done. In your case, LaTeX
thought you meant the command \onsted (which could very well be meant), and
failed, because no such command existed. If another command follows (Br\o\ss),
not termination is needed. You can also terminate by braces (Br{\o}nsted or
Br\o{}nsted), but this affects the kerning, so the space is suggested.

To see what I mean when I say the braces affect the kerning, compare
1. V\AA V
2. V\AA{}V
3. V{\AA}V
You will see that the kerning is only good in the first case. In the second
case, the Å and the second V are badly kerned, in the third case, all three
characters are badly kerned.

I'm curious... how does {} affect the kerning?
Is one of {\o} or \o{} preferable?
The space is problematic when processed by bibtex:
J. N. Br\o nsted will become nsted, J. N. B.

Because TeX does not treat the two characters as a pair for proper kerning.

No.

You need to terminate the macro by a space, i.e.: Br\o nsted. Or insert the
real character via Insert Special Characters Symbols.
