The negative-parity energy levels of the even-odd Yb isotopes, {sup 163}Yb, {sup 165}Yb, {sup 169}Yb, {sup 171}Yb, and {sup 173}Yb, are studied systematically within the framework of the extended interacting-boson-fermion-approximation (IBFA) model in which one odd fermion is couplied with a boson core. The boson core is described with the IBA model but allowing one boson to break into a quasifermion pair. The odd fermion is assumed to be in one of the {ital f}{sub 7/2} and {ital p}{sub 3/2} single-particle orbitals while the fermion pair is allowed to occupy the single-particle orbit {ital i}{sub 13/2}. It was found that the negative-parity energy levels of these even-odd Yb isotopes and the values of transition quadrupole moments for the ground-state rotational band of {sup 173}Yb can be reproduced in fairly good agreement with the observed data.
