A fundamental paper on a novel deconvolution technique related to positional scanning. The use of sub-libraries with systematically omitted monomers allows deconvolution of mixtures without the need for resynthesis or re-screening. The methodology has the potential to rapidly decode any library synthesised using pooled mixtures of reagents.

J Am Chem Soc. 121:1999;9073-9087. A library of over 2 million compounds was fully encoded in a binary manner using carbene attachment chemistry. The tags are randomly incorporated into the resin backbone and are oxidatively cleaved after a screening protocol. Material photoreleased from single beads was active against a number of different biological targets, the structure of compounds being fully identifiable by simple gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GCMS) analysis of the cleaved tags.

The ability to analyse tags in a quantitative way gives the potential for an expansion of 'binary' encoding, thereby simplifying analysis and reducing the number of tags required. Improvements in the cleavage and analysis protocols are also described.
