If you load your prmtop file and then a restrt file from your MD
simulation in VMD as a _single_ molecule you should see the correct
connectivities (all the bonds). If not, this means your initial
topology is wrong. A simple way to check that could be to generate a
Tripos mol2 file of your initial structure and visualize it in VMD
(See http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/leap.php to generate a
Tripos mol2 file from a prep or OFF library in LEaP). If it does not
contain the correct number of bonds, there is something wrong in the
way you generated your initial libraries for your PF6 anion...
