High spin states in94Ru and95Rh

The results of shell model calculations are presented and these support the experimental angular momentum assignments made for the high spin states in⁹⁴Ru and⁹⁵Rh. Only one disagreement between theory and experiment is encountered and this concerns the depopulation of the yrast 9^? state in⁹⁴Ru. A highly inhibitedE1 transition to the 8⁺ state is expected but not seen. The reason that seniority isomers are not observed in these nuclei is discussed.
