The existence of seven helium molecules, consisting of admixtures of up to five atoms of the two isotopes, is found on the basis of variational calculations using realistic phenomenological heliumndash;helium potentials. The smaller mass of3He has a significant effect on the binding energies, sizes, and particle distributions of these molecules. Also, a generalization of Tjonrsquo;s line to other fewhyphen;body systems is discovered.
