How to assign matrices to an array in a for loop

I would like to create an array that holds matrices that are calculated in a for loop.

For example, I would like to calculate matrix A and have it be assigned to matrices(1) and then calculate matrix B and have it assigned to matrices(B) and so on so that I can calculate A*B*...*n later.

I have tried:

for i = 1:5
    matrices(i) = [i*1 i*2 i*3; i*4 i*5 i*6; i*7 i*8 i*9];
end

but I get this error:

Unable to perform assignment because the indices on the left side are not compatible with the size of the right side.

Is there a way to do what I am wanting to do?

You can use a cell array:

for i = 1:5
    matrices{i} = [i*1 i*2 i*3; i*4 i*5 i*6; i*7 i*8 i*9];
end
