The levels of {sup 60,61}Zn and {sup 59,60}Cu have been investigated using {gamma}-{gamma} coincidence spectroscopy in the reactions {sup 58}Ni({alpha},{ital n}){sup 61}Zn at 13 MeV, {sup 58}Ni({alpha},{ital n}{gamma}){sup 61}Zn at 11.5, 15, and 20 MeV, {sup 58}Ni({sup 6}Li,{ital p}2{ital n}{gamma}){sup 61}Zn at 30 MeV, {sup 54}Fe({sup 10}B,{ital p}2{ital n}{gamma}){sup 61}Zn at 45 MeV, {sup 40}Ca({sup 24}Mg,2{ital pn}{gamma}){sup 61}Zn at 65 and 80 MeV, {sup 58}Ni({sup 3}He,{ital n}{gamma}){sup 60}Zn at 8 and 12 MeV, {sup 40}Ca({sup 23}Na,{ital p}2{ital n}{gamma}){sup 60}Zn at 70 MeV, {sup 58}Ni({sup 3}He,{ital pn}{gamma}){sup 59}Cu at 12 MeV, {sup 58}Ni({alpha},{ital pn}{gamma}){sup 60}Cu at 20 MeV, and {sup 40}Ca({sup 23}Na,2{ital pn}{gamma}){sup 60}Cu at 70 MeV. In the helium-induced reactions, spectra were gated with neutron coincidences. New levels have been found in all the nuclides studied, and a number of new spin assignments were made on the basis of {ital n}-{gamma} angular correlations. The results are compared with earlier {gamma}-ray and particle studies, and with preexisting shell-model predictions.
