High-spin states of [sup 143]Nd have been studied using the [sup 130]Te([sup 18]O,5[ital n]) reaction at 85 MeV. The yrast states observed up to a tentatively assigned spin of 45/2 can be described in a remarkably simple way by the weak coupling of an [ital f][sub 7/2] neutron to the [sup 142]Nd core nucleus. Our results demonstrate that [sup 143]Nd is one of the best known examples of weak coupling at high angular momentum.
