You are not alone. Attempts to model divalent ions with a simple fixed charge
force field generally yield results that have lots of problems. If you know
that the Mg2+ is "structural" and always stays in one place (without changing
its coordination environment) you could model this metal-ligand bonds,
as in Tutorial "A1-old" on the Amber web site.
....good luck....dac
