How to make only one part of double bond bold with chemfig?

I'm trying to get this kind of appearance for chemical structure (see highlighted regions):

By so far I could manage to do like this:

I'd draw the bold single bonds with the line-width command -[,,,,line width=2pt].
A bold double bond can be achieved by drawing a bold single bond backwards (angle = 180°) over the double bond: -[::180,,,,line width=2pt].



Here is an example:



documentclass[a4paper]{scrreprt}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage{chemfig}
renewcommand*printatom[1]{smallensuremath{mathsf{#1}}}
setatomsep{16.5pt}
setbondstyle{line width=0.6pt}
setcrambond{3pt}{0.6pt}{1.5pt}
setdoublesep{2.6pt}
setbondoffset{1.6pt}
setarrowdefault{,1.0,}

begin{document}

chemfig{*6(=(-[::180,,,,line width=2pt])-(*6(=-=(-NH_2)-(-*6(=(-NHTs)(-[::180,,,,line width=2pt])-[,,,,line width=2pt]=(-[::180,,,,line width=2pt])-(*6(=-=-=-))--))=-))--=(-[::180,,,,line width=2pt])-[,,,,line width=2pt])}

end{document}

I am not really an expert on pgf and tikz so probably this can be done even better. But here is my solution, where I define a new style of the bond.



Inspired by Creating delocalized double bonds in chemfig without tikzset? and Passing parameters to pgfdeclaredecoration



documentclass[a4paper]{article}

usepackage{chemfig}
usetikzlibrary{decorations}

makeatletter
pgfdeclaredecoration{halfbold}{initial}{%
state{initial}[width=0.5*pgfdecoratedpathlength,next state=final]{%
pgfsetlinewidth{5pgflinewidth}
pgfpathmoveto{pgfpoint{0}{0}}
pgfpathlineto{pgfpoint{pgfdecoratedpathlength}{0}}
pgfusepathqstroke
pgfsetlinewidth{tikzscope@linewidth}
pgfpathmoveto{pgfpoint{2pt}{4pt}}
pgfpathlineto{pgfpoint{0.9*pgfdecoratedpathlength}{4pt}}
pgfusepathqstroke
}
state{final}{%
pgfpathmoveto{pgfpoint{0pt}{0pt}}
pgfpathlineto{pgfpoint{0.5*pgfdecoratedpathlength}{0}}}}
makeatother

tikzset{myrbond/.style={decorate, decoration=halfbold}}
tikzset{mylbond/.style={decorate, decoration={halfbold, mirror}}}

setatomsep{4em}

begin{document}

chemfig{[:-30]R-C-[::60]C(-[::60,,,,,mylbond]O)-[,,,,myrbond]N(-[::-60]H)-[::60]C-R}

end{document}


You can adjust the thickness in the line pgfsetlinewidth{5pgflinewidth} and the distance between the double bonds on lines



pgfpathmoveto{pgfpoint{2pt}{4pt}}
pgfpathlineto{pgfpoint{0.9*pgfdecoratedpathlength}{4pt}}


But I am really not sure, if this is a better (or nicer) solution that the one proposed by @dieg0

    bond join=true,

      I am not really an expert on pgf and tikz so probably this can be done even better. But here is my solution, where I define a new style of the bond.



      Inspired by Creating delocalized double bonds in chemfig without tikzset? and Passing parameters to pgfdeclaredecoration



      documentclass[a4paper]{article}

      usepackage{chemfig}
      usetikzlibrary{decorations}

      makeatletter
      pgfdeclaredecoration{halfbold}{initial}{%
      state{initial}[width=0.5*pgfdecoratedpathlength,next state=final]{%
      pgfsetlinewidth{5pgflinewidth}
      pgfpathmoveto{pgfpoint{0}{0}}
      pgfpathlineto{pgfpoint{pgfdecoratedpathlength}{0}}
      pgfusepathqstroke
      pgfsetlinewidth{tikzscope@linewidth}
      pgfpathmoveto{pgfpoint{2pt}{4pt}}
      pgfpathlineto{pgfpoint{0.9*pgfdecoratedpathlength}{4pt}}
      pgfusepathqstroke
      }
      state{final}{%
      pgfpathmoveto{pgfpoint{0pt}{0pt}}

      makeatother

      tikzset{myrbond/.style={decorate, decoration=halfbold}}
      tikzset{mylbond/.style={decorate, decoration={halfbold, mirror}}}

      setatomsep{4em}

      chemfig{[:-30]R-C-[::60]C(-[::60,,,,,mylbond]O)-[,,,,myrbond]N(-[::-60]H)-[::60]C-R}

      end{document}


      You can adjust the thickness in the line pgfsetlinewidth{5pgflinewidth} and the distance between the double bonds on lines



      pgfpathmoveto{pgfpoint{2pt}{4pt}}
      pgfpathlineto{pgfpoint{0.9*pgfdecoratedpathlength}{4pt}}


      But I am really not sure, if this is a better (or nicer) solution that the one proposed by @dieg0

                  I achieved a nice result.
                  This is my commented code:
