The present work is focused on the elucidation of the electronic structure, bonding and optical properties of a series of coordination compounds of type [LnIIIHAM]3+, where “LnIII” are the trivalent lanthanide ions: La3+, Ce3+, Eu3+ and Lu3+, while “HAM” is the neutral six-nitrogen macrocyclic ligand [C22N6H26].
