Gaussian is an ab initio format and as such, does not have any notion of
connectivity.

You can convert your molecule into Gaussian z-matrix input (gzmat),
which will yield some connectivity by defining distances, angles and
torsion angles between atoms, but again, there is no notion of a
chemical bond there.
