The nuclear structure of high-spin states in ${}_{}{}^{46}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ti}$ and ${}_{}{}^{46}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{V}$ has been investigated using the ${}_{}{}^{40}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ca}({}_{}{}^9{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Be},2pn){}_{}{}^{46}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ti}$ and ${}_{}{}^{40}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ca}({}_{}{}^9{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Be},p2n){}_{}{}^{46}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{V}$ reactions. Excitation function, angular distribution, recoil distance, Doppler shift attentuation, and $\gamma -\gamma$ coincidence measurements were undertaken. Some additional data on ${}_{}{}^{46}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ti}$ from the ${}_{}{}^{35}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Cl}({}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O},\alpha p){}_{}{}^{46}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ti}$ reaction are included.
