Dear Houcemeddine,
I agree with Jason. Let's suppose your iron metal center is a a iron(III).
Fe has 26 electrons:
Fe 26 (8) [Ar].3d6.4s2 || | | | | ||
So Fe(III) has the following electron configuration:
Fe 26 (8) [Ar].3d5 | | | | |
-> this likely means a spin multiplicity = 5 single electrons + 1; i.e. 6
Now let's look at the total charge:
CYM is likely to have a total charge of -1
HID means a total charge of 0
(be sure that you have 3 HID - and neither HIE nor HIP;
if HIP the total charge = +1)
thus the total charge of "FeIII + CYM(-1) + 3 * HID(0)" = +2
You might be interested in using R.E.D. Server
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDS/ or better R.E.D. Server
Development (new charge models); the association of R.E.D. Python and
R.E.D. Server Development is in progress; I hope we will open that
soon...
The next step will be to propose to the community very powerful nodes
for R.E.D. Server Development/R.E.D. Python and user defined options
for QM computations...
