a

Listed are NPs’ structure, precursors, and coating; “cells” stands for the cell line; [NPs] is the nanoparticle concentration; tinc is the incubation time; cell damage is that after incubation.

b

Pt precursor always Pt(acac)2.

c

Fe contribution from Fe2O3 shell not included.

d

Fe contribution from Fe2O3 shell included.

e

[Fe] cannot be calculated.

f
