In the process, an array of different metal-ligand compositions is prepared by delivering a dissolved, soluble metal precursor and a metal-binding ligand to each reaction vessel or well in the array, where they may optionally be combined with an activator and/or other additives. The resulting metal-ligand composition in each vessel is then screened for reactivity in a chemical reaction of interest, particularly for catalytic activity in a polymerization reaction.
