  Neutron-rich nuclei were populated in a relativistic fission of 238U.
Gamma-rays with energies of 135 keV and 184 keV were associated with two
isomeric states in 121Pd and 117Ru. Half-lives of 0.63(5) microseconds and
2.0(3) micrisecondss were deduced and the isomeric states were interpreted in
terms of deformed single-particle states.
