Abstract
A combinatorial library comprises a plurality of ligand-bearing support units, where the ligand-bearing support units comprise (a) a solid carrier, (b) one or more ligands covalently bound to the solid carrier, and (c) one or more encoding metal salts impregnated on the support unit, where the distribution of the cations of the encoding metal salts provides a code for identifying the ligand or ligands that are attached to the support units, and the cations have been stabilized against dissolution by treatment with one or more anions that form insoluble or poorly soluble salts of the cations.
