Electronic spectral studies of [Ln(III).L] complexes, where, Ln = Pr, Nd and Er with tyrosine (tyr) have been undertaken with a view to evaluate the oscillator strengths (f_JO), Judd-Ofelt parameters (τ_λ), inter-electronic repulsion Racah parameters (δE^K) and nephelauxetic ratios (δE³/δE¹). Studies have been performed at five different pH values to examine the pH dependence of the spectral parameters. The metal-ligand bonding pattern has been studied in the light of changes in τ_λ and nephelauxetic ratio values. The [Ln(Ill). tyr] interaction shows a drift from ionic to partial covalent nature.
