The structure and decay of neutron-rich r-process nuclides has been studied by a variety of means that take advantage of enhanced selectivity to permit identification of exotic nuclides. New level structures are presented for 134,135Sb along with data for Ag isomers and Cd yrast structures. Some of the properties measured play an important role in calculations of the yields of elements and isotopes produced in r-process nucleosynthesis that takes place at high temperature in the presence of large densities of neutrons.
