High spin states in ${}_{}{}^{92}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Mo}$ and ${}_{}{}^{90}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Mo}$ have been studied using the reactions ${}_{}{}^{59}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Co}$${(}^{37}$Cl,2p2n${)}^{92}$Mo, ${}_{}{}^{66}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Zn}$${(}^{30}$Si,2p2n${)}^{92}$Mo, and ${}_{}{}^{66}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Zn}$${(}^{28}$Si,2p2n${)}^{90}$Mo at beam energies 90–120 MeV. Level energies, spins, and parities have been established up to spin 17ħ (${\mathit{E}}_{\mathit{x}}$=8–9 MeV) on the basis of gamma-gamma coincidence and angular distribution measurements. All the states in these two nuclei could be described by spherical shell-model calculations.
