Abstract
In this contribution, we present evidence for the occurrence of triangular symmetry in cluster nuclei. We discuss the structure of rotational bands for 3α and 3α +1 configurations with triangular D
3h
symmetry by exploiting the double group

and study the application to 12 C and 13C. The structure of rotational bands can be used as a fingerprint of the underlying geometric configuration of α particles.
