Do chemists go crazy like mathematicians?

I know mathematicians tend to go that way.  Are there any insane famous chemists?

One needs to define insane before that can be answered.

Elena Ceauşescu - wife of the former Romanian Dictator (although her chemist status is disputed)
Margaret Thatcher - the insanity depends on your political persuasion though. ( famous for her chemistry on "soft" ice cream)
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
