In article 2100098, Mandel and co‐workers demonstrate how to solve the long known challenge to overcome the inhibition effects of citrate that are believed to hinder iron oxide nanoparticle formation from iron salt precursors when being present during the nanoparticle synthesis. This opens up routes to in‐situ modification of nano iron oxides, thus making post‐synthesis citrate modification obsolete.
