Arthur,

There are many "tools" and parameters to study a bond (bond order, orbitals, density analysis,
interaction energies, etc).
The graphical representation of a bond in visual programs are determined only for geometrical
parameters, but these parameters are not the same for all atoms, in many cases mean nothing.

I dis consider the coordiantion bond in a copper complex with pyridine as covalent bond, however, the atom type of nitrogen atom changed from N.ar to N.4 and the pyridine ring cannot maintain plane. I think it was incorrect. Therefore, there must be a methond for considering coordiantion bond other than covalent bond in coordination complex.
Thanks!

I constucted a cu complex using Hyperchem software and had no problems in do that.
the bonds cu-ligand may be considered as covalents

Try setting the pyridine nitrogen to type N.pl3 and be careful about the total charge on the complex.

Thank you for your kind reply!
I did consider the coordiantion bond in a copper complex with pyridine as covalent bond, however, the atom type of nitrogen atom changed from N.ar to N.4 and the pyridine ring cannot maintain plane. I think it was incorrect. Therefore, there must be a methond for considering coordiantion bond other than covalent bond in coordination complex.
Thanks!
