The decays of the {psi}(2S) into vector plus tensor meson final states have been studied for the first time using the BES detector. We determine upper limits on branching fractions for {psi}(2S) decays into {omega}f{sub 2} , {rho}a{sub 2} , K{sup {asterisk}0}{ovr K}{sup *0}{sub 2}+c.c. , and {phi}f{sup {prime}}{sub 2}(1525) that are, in each case, significantly smaller than the corresponding branching fractions for the J/{psi} meson, scaled according to the expectations of perturbative QCD. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society }
