— This article provides a brief overview of time‐resolved infrared spectroscopy (TRIR) applied to the investigation of organometallic photochemistry in solution. In this context, some fundamental problems where flash photolysis TRIR techniques may provide information relevant to photochemical pathways and to certain thermal reaction mechanisms are described. Different approaches to obtaining TRIR spectral information are summarized and illustrated with specific applications.
