Abstract The low lying high spin states in the transitional odd-odd mass nuclei are studied systematically in the framework of gamma deformed rotor model. The two odd particles, a proton and a neutron, are treated as the BCS quasi particles moving in a triaxially deformed field. The calculations are confined to smallβ-deformation which is typical of the transitional nuclei. Moreover, we consider only the case where two odd particles are in singlej-shells. Results for the excitation energy covering the various physical situations are presented as a function of theβ-deformation, the asymmetryγ, and the Fermi energiesλ p andλ n . Electromagnetic transitions and moments are also calculated. Certain features well known in the odd mass nuclei are shown to persist also in the odd-odd mass system. Trends in the level systematics and the electromagnetic properties are predicted for the case where both particles decouple or remain strongly coupled, and for the case where one decouples and the other couples strongly with the core. Measurements which are getting now available show encouraging agreement with the theoretical results.
