• same observation is recorded for the 195Pt NMR analyses of all the heterometallic cages (Supporting Information File 1, Figures S17 and S18). The DOSY NMR experiments also confirmed the formation of a single product in all the cages with the hydrodynamic radii (rH) of the heterometallic prismatic cages
