 Nobel laureates of Chemistry


The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded 116 times to 197 Nobel Prize laureates between 1901 and 2024.

 Frederick Sanger and Barry Sharpless have both been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry twice


In 1901, Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff (1852–1911) received the first Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff Jr. was a Dutch physical chemist.

 A highly influential theoretical chemist of his time, van 't Hoff was the first winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. 

His pioneering work helped found the modern theory of chemical affinity, chemical equilibrium, chemical kinetics, and chemical thermodynamics. 

In his 1874 pamphlet, Van 't Hoff formulated the theory of the tetrahedral carbon atom and laid the foundations of stereochemistry. 

In 1875, he predicted the correct structures of allenes and cumulenes as well as their axial chirality. He is also widely considered one of the founders of physical chemistry as the discipline is known today.
