A simple phenomenological model for the electric dipole intensities of nfnf transitions is proposed. The model is derived by adopting of the common angular overlap model to the generalized Judd-Ofelt theory of the static coupling mechanism. It leads to reduction of a number of the effective intensity parameters to six, three of which correspond to the fd excitations and the remaining to the fg ones. Calculations performed for some lanthanide complexes show that the model, despite its inborn crudeness, provides satisfactory results and may be a convenient tool for a preliminary estimation of intensities. Regularity of the obtained parameters indicates a possibility of further reduction of their number.
