We report a new series of homoleptic Ni(I) bis-N-heterocyclic carbene complexes with a range of torsion angles between the two ligands from 68° to 90°. Electron paramagnetic resonance measurements revealed a strongly anisotropicg-tensor in all complexes with a small variation ing∥∼ 5.7–5.9 andg⊥∼ 0.6. The energy of the first excited state identified by variable-field far-infrared magnetic spectroscopy and SOC-CASSCF/NEVPT2 calculations is in the range 270–650 cm–1. Magnetic relaxation measured by alternating current susceptibility up to 10 K is dominated by Raman and direct processes.Ab initioligand-field analysis reveals that a torsion angle of <90° causes the splitting between doubly occupied dxzand dyzorbitals, which has little effect on the magnetic properties, while the temperature dependence of the magnetic relaxation appears to have no correlation with the torsion angle.
