Nobel Prize Winners

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1905 was awarded to Adolf von Baeyer in recognition of his services in the advancement of organic chemistry and the chemical industry, through his work on organic dyes and hydroaromatic compounds.

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1901 was awarded to Jacobus H. van t Hoff in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by the discovery of the laws of chemical dynamics and osmotic pressure in solutions.

Peter Agre won The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2003.

Kurt Wüthrich won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2002 for his development of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy for determining the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules in solution.

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2001 was awarded to William Knowles, Ryoji Noyori, and K. Barry Sharpless for their work in the field of asymmetric synthesis. They made significant contributions to the development of chiral catalysts used in organic synthesis, which has had a profound impact on the pharmaceutical industry.

In 2000, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Alan J. Heeger, Alan G. MacDiarmid, and Hideki Shirakawa for their discovery and development of conductive polymers. Their work laid the foundation for the field of organic electronics.
