Dear Lisa,

you can specify custom bond and angle restraints by using the option 
refinement.geometry_restraints.edits. Best is to save them to a file (e.g. 
"restraints_edits.params") and use this as input for your next 
phenix.refine run. Assuming the ideal distance for your Mg is 2.1A and the 
amino acid is asp113 of chain A, the according file entry could look like 
this:

refinement.geometry_restraints.edits {
  bond {
    action = *add
    atom_selection_1 = name MG01 and chain G and resname MG and resseq 1
    atom_selection_2 = name OD2 and chain A and resname ASP and resseq 113
    distance_ideal = 2.1000
    sigma = 0.01
  }

You can check the phenix hompage for detailed documentation:

Yours,

Joern
