title: Evidence for the involvement of silver nanoclusters during the Wolff rearrangement of alpha-diazoketones.
abstract: In situ-generated silver nanoclusters(Ag(n)) during the reduction of either silver(I) oxide or other salts presumably catalyze the Wolff rearrangement of alpha-diazoketones. Their optical, physical, and catalytic properties depend on the starting silver(I) compound and the reaction conditions. [reaction: see text]
