96 bonds were formed when 62 building blocks (heterotopic ligands with Fe II and Pt II ions) self‐assembled in a one‐pot reaction into a heterometallic Fe 8 Pt 6 L 24 cubic cage (see model, Fe purple, Pt orange, N blue). The dynamic nature of this method also allowed an efficient cage‐to‐cage conversion: a tetrahedral Fe 4 L 6 cage was converted into the Fe 8 Pt 6 L 24 cube, which was subsequently converted into a second tetrahedral Fe 4 L′ 6 cage.
