✦ Synopsis

The α-clustering and molecular-orbitals of 22 Ne and F isotopes are investigated based on antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD). The observed candidates for the α cluster state of 22 Ne are understood as the molecular-orbital states and α+ 18 O di-nuclei states. The presence of the molecular-orbital states in the O and F isotopes and the drastic reduction of their excitation energy near the neutron-drip line are predicted.
