Interest in the synthesis of novel luminescent lanthanide complexes stems from the wide area of application in various fields of science. Thus, the theoretical design becomes an important tool in the search for efficient luminescent complex. Within this context, emerged the Sparkle model that were developed for predicting the ground state geometries of lanthanide complexes. In this work we present a new parameterization of the ion Eu (III) for the AM1 and RM1 semiempirical methods, with the explicit inclusion of orbitals s, p and d in the basis set. With this reasoning, we have limitations in the calculation of lanthanide complexes in the solvent with MOPAC and initiate an improvement in the description of links that show the highest degree of covalency. The parameterization process of this model had a robust statistical analysis to select the set of parameterization, since our whole universe has 144 structures of lanthanide complexes. Thus, we used two methods to identify the structures that should be part of the parameter set: (i) the method of hierarchical grouping known as AGNES and (ii) the DIANA method. The models that we developed (AM1/Eu and RM1/Eu) showed an improvement compared to the versions of the Sparkle model, considering the low average absolute errors for the distances Eu L (L = O, N, C, S, P, F, Cl, Br and Eu), maintaining the commitment to the low computational cost involved in performing the calculations of the geometries of the ground state. We also investigated the accuracy of quantum-chemical methods in the reproduction of the coordination polyhedron of lanthanide ion complexes. We compared semiempirical methods (the PCC approach and Sparkle model) and also those with the ab initio methodology RHF/ECP/STO-3G. After this study, we conclude that the only semiempirical Sparkle model (hundreds of times faster) present similar accuracy to what can be obtained by present-day ab initio/ECP full geometry optimization calculations on such lanthanide complexes. In addiction it further indicates that the PCC approach is inappropriate to predict the coordination polyhedron geometries of lanthanide complexes.
