Hole in one! Octahedral silica nanocages are prepared by a facile one‐step approach, which also enables controlled functionalization with Pt in the cavities. The strategy is based on mediated deposition of silica on simultaneously generated salt quasi‐templates, which are simply removed by washing with water.
