X‐ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, and theoretical calculations were used to investigate the relationship between the optical properties and degree of protonation in acid‐base complexes. We prepared five acid‐base complexes by using a pyridine‐modified pyrrolopyrrole derivative and salicylic acid. Two of the prepared acid‐base complexes were polymorphs of guest‐free crystals with green emission; the other three were guest‐inclusion crystals with yellow emission containing CH2Cl2, CH2Br2, or C2H4Cl2. The presence or absence of guests caused the emission to change color, altering the hydrogen bond strength between the acid‐base complexes. Accurate N⋅⋅⋅H distances between the pyridyl moiety and the carboxy group over the temperature range 123 to 273 K were 1.40 Å for the guest‐free crystals and 1.25 Å for the guest‐inclusion crystals. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the complex relationship between photofunction and proton dynamics in acid‐base complexes.
