The excited states of Be-12, Be-14 and B-15 have been studied with a methodof antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. In the predicted excited states we findnovel molecule-like structures with very exotic clusters such as 6He+8He inBe-14 and 6He+9Li in B-15. The origin of the He-6 cluster development in thevery neutron-rich nuclei is understood by the new-type correlation among 4neutrons and 2 protons. In this paper we also present our recent challenge tostudy $sd$-shell nuclei. Shape coexistence problems in Ar-36 and Ca-40 arediscussed.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures.
