Abstract
Coulomb shifts of the linear-chain states are theoretically investigated for the mirror pair of and by using the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. Energy shift of the -bond linear-chain states is found and it is due to the reduction in the Coulomb energy associated with the spatially extended orbit. This new signature supports the existence of the linear-chain formation and encourages further experimental investigations.
