The currently available methodologies for applying extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy to the interrogation of dynamic chemical systems are critically reviewed. Particular regard is paid to applicable experimental timescales, extraction of structural information, sample presentation, and simultaneous pairing with complementary techniques; the potential for further developments in this area is also assessed.
