The level structure and configurations of {sup 216}At have been studied by observing the alpha decay of {sup 220}Fr, which is in secular equilibrium with {sup 224}Ac. Six of the 16 observed states are tentatively assigned to the configuration {pi}({ital h}{sub 9/2}){sup 3}{upsilon}({ital g}{sub 9/2}){sup 5}, and four to the mixed configuration {pi}({ital h}{sub 9/2}){sup 3}{upsilon}({ital g}{sub 9/2}){sup 4}({ital i}{sub 11/2})+{pi}({ital h}{sub 9/2}){sup 2}({ital f} {sub 7/2}){upsilon}({ital g}{sub 9/2}){sup 5}. These two configurations in {sup 216}At are compared with the corresponding configurations in {sup 212}Bi and {sup 210}Bi. The shape transitions are traced from the quadrupole-octupole deformed {sup 224}Ac through {sup 220}Fr and {sup 216}At, to {sup 212}Bi, described by the spherical shell model, using the alpha decay sequence beginning with {sup 228}Pa. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
