Exotic, neutron-rich nuclei of mass A=115 produced in proton-induced fission of {sup 238}U were extracted using the IGISOL mass separator. The beam of isobars was transferred to the JYFLTRAP Penning trap system for further separation to the isotopic level. Monoisotopic samples of {sup 115}Ru nuclei were used for {gamma}and {beta} coincidence spectroscopy. In {sup 115}Ru we have observed excited levels, including an isomer with a half-life of 76(6) ms and (7/2{sup -}) spin and parity. The first excited 61.7-keV level in {sup 115}Ru with spins and parity (3/2{sup +}) may correspond to an oblate 3/2{sup +}[431] Nilsson orbital. A half-life of 318(19) ms for the {beta}{sup -} decay of the (1/2{sup +}) ground state in {sup 115}Ru has been firmly established in two independent measurements, a value which is significantly shorter than that previously reported.
