Abstract
New level schemes of and are proposed from analysis of the gamma data from spontaneous fission in Gammasphere. By analogy with the even-odd isotones and spins and parities were assigned to the observed excited states in and Level systematics in the even-odd isotones from Gd to Te are discussed. The level systematics and comparison with neighboring even-even isotopes indicate that quadrupole and octupole collectivities play a role in and From Gd to Te increasing excitation energies of the states and lowering relative intensities of the positive-parity bands in the even-odd isotones may indicate that the octupole strength is becoming weaker for the isotones when approaching the closed shell.
