Particle-gamma-ray coincidence spectra from the ${}_{}{}^{110}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pd}$(t,pγγ${)}^{112}$Pd and ${}_{}{}^{100}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Mo}$(t,pγγ${)}^{102}$Mo reactions were measured with enriched ${}_{}{}^{110}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pd}$ and ${}_{}{}^{100}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Mo}$ targets bombarded by 16-MeV tritons to obtain more complete level structures for ${}_{}{}^{112}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pd}$ and ${}_{}{}^{102}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Mo}$. The resultant ground state band of ${}_{}{}^{112}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pd}$ and that of ${}_{}{}^{120}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Xe}$ are used in the interpretation of coexistence in ${}_{}{}^{116}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Sn}$. The possible observation of backbending in ${}_{}{}^{102}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Mo}$ is used to investigate the A dependence of backbending over a wider mass region.
