Also, Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy provides relevant information regarding the specific interactions of different probes within substrates [17], especially in the diffuse-reflectance mode when applied to the study of powdered opaque surfaces that disperse the incident radiation. The extension of this technique to obtain time resolved transient absorption spectra in the IR wavelength range (laser flash-photolysis with IR detection) will certainly play in the near future an important role in terms of clarifying different reaction mechanisms in the surface photochemistry field [17c, 18].
