Multiple naphthol ligands were installed on the glycocalyx of white blood cells via metabolic labeling and subsequent strain promoted azide–alkyne cycloaddition. Only when cucurbit[8]uril was present to drive the formation of ternary complexes, cells specifically assembled on a methylviologen functionalized supported lipid bilayer through multivalent interactions.
