<P> At least 25 laureates have received the Nobel Prize for contributions in the field of organic chemistry , more than any other field of chemistry . Two Nobel Prize laureates in Chemistry , Germans Richard Kuhn ( 1938 ) and Adolf Butenandt ( 1939 ) , were not allowed by their government to accept the prize . They would later receive a medal and diploma , but not the money . Frederick Sanger is one out of two laureates to be awarded the Nobel prize twice in the same subject , in 1958 and 1980 . John Bardeen is the other and was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1956 and 1972 . Two others have won Nobel Prizes twice , one in chemistry and one in another subject : Maria Skłodowska - Curie ( physics in 1903 , chemistry in 1911 ) and Linus Pauling ( chemistry in 1954 , peace in 1962 ) . As of 2017 , the prize has been awarded to 177 individuals , including four women : Maria Skłodowska - Curie , Irène Joliot - Curie ( 1935 ) , Dorothy Hodgkin ( 1964 ) , and Ada Yonath ( 2009 ) . There have been eight years in which the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was not awarded . </P>
