“…The basic structures 7, 9, 11, 13 can lead to di-, tri-, tetra-and hexa-valent presentations of a monovalent ligand, respectively. Additionally, the known trivalent dendron 14 [29] was prepared from 10 (Scheme 1). Dendron 14 can be functionalized by Cu(I) catalyzed azidealkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) with three copies of a ligand and, after transformation of the chloride tethered to the focal point into an azide (yielding 15, Figure 2), it can be clicked on other polyalkynes such as 7, 9, 11, 13, leading to compounds with higher valency and different shapes were built using mannose 5, the pseudo-dimannoside 3 and the pseudo-trimannoside 2 as the monovalent ligand (see Supplementary Information).…”
