To develop a molecular mechanics force field for modeling complexes of transition metals and organic ligands, the electrostatic and covalent contributions in the coordination bonds were investigated using quantum mechanical density functional theory and model complexes of glyoxal diimine and the 2+ cations of the first row transition metals. The VDD and Hirshfeld charges are found to be closely correlated with the extent of the electron transfer between the ligands and the cations. Assuming the electrostatic contribution can be represented by the atomic partial charges, the covalent contributions in the coordination bonds are estimated to be in a range of 54-92% for the systems calculated. A simple force field was parametrized to validate the partial charge representation.
