The sulfurlike spectra of copper through molybdenum have been identified from observations in tokamak- and laser-generated plasmas. Wavelengths of electric-dipole transitions of the 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 4}--(3s3p{sup 5}+3s{sup 2}3p{sup 3}3d) array in the range 75 to 305 A are given. The wavelength uncertainty is estimated to be {plus minus}0.007 A. These data have been combined with previously reported wavelengths of magnetic-dipole transitions to determine energy levels for the isoelectronic sequence Cu xiv through Mo xxvii including Rb and Sr for which no observations were made. Ground configuration intervals obtained from magnetic-dipole transitions are compared with Dirac--Fock calculations to predict unknown values and to correct misidentifications. Wavelengths previously classified as chlorinelike 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 5} {sup 2}P{sub 1/2}{degree}--3s{sup 2}3p{sup 4}({sup 3}P)3d {sup 2}P{sub 1/2} in Cu through Zr are now classified as sulfurlike lines. A new set of observed and interpolated wavelengths for that transition is presented for Cu through Kr.
