Abstract
Nuclear clustering and molecular resonances based on α-particles and strongly bound substructures in nuclei with N = Z have been studied since many decades. Excited states close to the decay thresholds show particularly strong clustering, as described by the Ikeda diagram. This diagram can be extended to neutronrich nuclei, in these cases strongly deformed isomeric states consisting of clusters and loosely bound neutrons will appear. Molecular structures in beryllium isotopes and in other neutronrich light nuclei (carbon and neon) are discussed.
