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.
