A photochromic symmetric Schiff base, N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-p-phenylenediamine, is proposed as a probe for the study of solvent dependent enol-keto tautomerism in the ground and excited states. The ground state equilibrium between the enol-keto tautomers is found to depend mainly not on polarity but on the proton donating ability of the solvent. Upon selective excitation of each of these tautomers, the same excited state of a keto tautomer is created: in enol, after the ultrafast excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), reaction, and in keto tautomer, directly. Then some part (<30%) of excited molecules are transferred to the photochromic form in its ground state. The evidence of another ultrafast deactivation channel in the excited enol tautomer competing with ESIPT has been found. The solvent does not influence the ESIPT dynamics nor the efficiency of the creation of the photochrome.
