This is largely due to the input format. I'd suggest SDF, for example, which can specify the correct formal charge on the N atom. Other formats would probably work, but this is the most obvious standardized format. > If this is not possible for a xyz-file, do I have an alternative to > create a svg-format from a format which only hold topological > informations. All hydrogens are known. Are you saying that you don't wish to determine bonding or formal charges? I'm not sure such a format exists.
