Infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy is commonly used to determine the structure of isolated, mass‐selected ions in the gas phase. This method has been widely used since it became available at free‐electron laser (FEL) user facilities. Thus, in this Minireview, we examine the use of IRMPD/FEL spectroscopy for investigating ions derived from small molecules, metal complexes, organometallic compounds and biorelevant ions. Furthermore, we outline new applications of IRMPD spectroscopy to study biomolecules.
