Low-lying states for even-even, odd-mass, and doubly odd nuclei in the mass A{approx}130 region are systematically investigated using a pair-truncated shell model. In this model the collective nucleon pairs with angular momenta zero and two are the basic ingredients for even-even nuclei. Additional unpaired nucleons are added to the even-even core for a description of odd-mass and doubly odd nuclei. The effective interactions consist of single-particle energies and monopole and quadrupole pairing plus quadrupole-quadrupole interactions, whose strengths are assumed to be linearly changed as functions of the number of nucleons so as to describe the level schemes of the even-even and odd-mass nuclei. Energy levels of the low-lying collective states for even-even Xe, Ba, Ce, and Nd isotopes are reproduced very well along with intraband and interband B(E2) values, which simulate the typical features of the O(6) limit of the interacting boson model. For odd-mass and doubly odd nuclei, complicated level schemes and electromagnetic moments are in excellent agreement with the experimental data.
