Investigation of the TDMs in Fig. reveals that, despite the deviations in transition energies, both theories predict the lowest singlet excited state to have MLCT character. Higher-lying, states are predominantly transitions taking place on the ligands. However, also MLCT states can be found in both calculations. In the triplet case, both theories correctly predict the MC states to be located at the energetically lower end of the spectrum. However, this time the BSE@GW state is located higher in energy than its TDDFT counterpart at 1.37 eV (BSE@evGW-TDA) in comparison to 1.20 eV (TDDFT-TDA) above the singlet ground state in the singlet equilibrium geometry. One important difference between the two computations is that BSE@GW's MC states appear more dispersed, whereas TDDFT predicts a sharp edge. Previous research has shown that an increase in the amount of NHC donors leads to increased MLCT lifetimes. The fact that the lowest BSE@GW MC states have a higher MLCT contribution than their corresponding counterparts 5 may suggest a similar conclusion.
