When applying to grad schools, you should be looking at professors rather than schools.  Sometimes the professor who is the foremost expert in the topic that you are interested in is at a big name school but they can also be at smaller schools as well.  However, as a whole, the chem departments of Berkeley, MIT, Harvard, Scripps, Caltech, and Stanford are probably the top in the US (sorry if I'm forgetting any other top schools).
