For various reasons, chemists did not receive awards in,, and gg.

Therefore, the bonus in chemistry will be awarded for the time, although the current Nobel week is already in the account. The only Russian Nobel laureate in this area was Nikolai Semenov in the year, who received the award together with the Englishman Siril Hinshelwood for researching the mechanism of chemical reactions.
