Interactions between cell-surface glycoconjugates and receptors play a crucial role in a wide range of biological events with a presentation of glycans at cell surfaces as an ensemble of many different arrangements. This explains in part why most glycan-based interactions necessitate multivalency to achieve a biologically significant interaction.[1] N-Acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), the major member of the sialic acid family,[2–4] is commonly located as an α-ketosidically linked terminal sugar on cell surface glycoconjugates. As a result of this external position within glycoconjugates, it is involved in numerous biological phenomena,[3, 4] including pathological interactions of human cells with bacteria and viruses.[5] This has led to intense research interest in sialic acid chemistry,[6] comprising the design of potent chemotherapeutic agents against the influenza virus [7] or the elaboration of diagnostic tools that could facilitate fast and accurate virus detection.[8] The stability of the diagnostic constructs to external conditions and to enzymatic activities of the target is often a serious and under-evaluated problem.[9]In this context, we have developed a collection of new oligovalent C-sialosides attached to different scaffolds able to provide diverse combinations of valency and geometry that could effectively interact with various biological targets. The well-defined oligomeric C-sialoside structures were prepared by using a very short synthetic pathway combining two highyielding key steps: our recently reported samarium-mediated Reformatsky-coupling reaction by using anomeric acetates 1 [10](Scheme 1) and the copper (I)-catalyzed Huisgen cycloaddition of azide and alkyne,[11] a model reaction of the “click” chemistry.[12] This highly regioselective reaction introduces 1, 4-disubstituted 1, 2, 3-triazole units [13] linking, effi-
