Abstract
In a systematic search through experimental results for transfer reactions, inelastic excitations and other data for ¹³C we identify states which have no simple structure related to the low-lying states of ¹²C. We propose that these states have strong -clustering and that they are related to chain states expected in C. The properties of these states are discussed on the basis of a molecular orbital model.
