In this work, we predict and measure the optical behaviour of Pr³⁺ in different binary and ternary fluorides. We use a validated model based on Ligand Field Theory and Density Functional Theory to calculate the multiplet energy levels arising from the ground [Xe]4f² and excited [Xe]4f¹5d¹ electron configurations of Pr³⁺ in its chemical environment. Moreover, the luminescence spectra of the considered materials were recorded. In overall the theoretical determination corroborates to the experimental findings. The phenomenon of the photon cascade emission is particularly stressed, being important for the design of modern phosphors with quantum efficiencies larger than 100%
