[chimera-dev] gaussian interface: getting nuts with connectivity

Dear all,

I am trying to make chimera an interface for  the quantum mechanical program gaussian. 
Pretty much everything seems to go smooth but I am getting crazy (stupid?) because I can't reproduce the geometry connectivity gaussian wants. I used tools of chimera I know for bond mapping and connectivity. But I can't get to the right connectivity format.

I join you here an input file of gaussian (a ARG-ALA dipeptide). If you look at the file, the connectivity between the atoms is at the end and is in the following form:

atom 1, atom 2, bond_order, atoms 3, bond_order (etc for all atoms linked to atom 1)
...


atom 31 (to 37 = all terminal atoms).

I have been using the different atoms attributes I know like neighbors, bonds and bondMap, but I can't see how to proceed neither I see how to use the bond order calculations as in the mol2 module. 
If you have time and can give me a hint, I would be extremely greatful

Thank you very much,

best
JD
