    Complex almost contact metric manifold have not received as much attention as its real versions. However, they have great interest, especially in the study of twistor spaces. The definitions of the complex versions are the natural extensions of the real ones, but the geometry is richer than in the real case. The main results of this paper concern with the notion of normality. The author considers a weaker definition of normality which is more convenient in order to include the complex Heisenberg group. Several results concerning sectional curvatures are proved, and the complex contact space forms are introduced. At the end of the paper, the author discusses several examples of normal complex contact metric manifolds with constant \(GH\)-sectional curvature \(c\geq -3\).
