Molecules serve a powerful probes of the conditions, composition, and chemistry of exoplanet atmospheres. Using precision spectroscopy, it is possible to detect these molecules and provide the observations required for detailed, model-based, physical interpretations. Spectra of the primary and secondary eclipse events in transiting planets allow the crude spatial localization of molecular abundance estimates and thus probe the differences between the dayside and nightside atmospheres. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the current work is that it anticipates a large number of measurements emerging over then next few months. In the future, applying these techniques to non-transiting planets is almost certainly feasible.
