Studies of 2-(1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridine (PPP) and its derivatives 2-(4-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridine (MPP) and 2-(3-bromo-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridine (BPP) by stationary and time-resolved UV/Vis spectroscopic methods, and quantum chemical computations show that this class of compounds provides a rare example of molecules that exhibit three types of photoreactions: 1) excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) in the syn form of MPP, 2) excited-state intermolecular double-proton transfer (ESDPT) in the dimers of PPP in nonpolar media, as well as 3) solvent-assisted double-proton transfer in hydrogen-bonded 1:1 complexes of PPP and MPP with alcoholic partners. The excited-state processes are manifested by the appearance of a dual luminescence and a bimodal irreversible kinetic coupling of the two fluorescence bands. Ground-state syn-anti equilibria are detected and discussed. The fraction of the higher-energy anti form varies for different derivatives and is strongly dependent on the solvent polarity and hydrogen-bond donor or acceptor abilities.
