Two new high-lying level sequences of negative parity have been identified in the odd-proton nucleus [sup 81]Rb by in-beam [gamma]-ray spectroscopy using the reactions [sup 79]Br([alpha],2[ital n]) at 27 MeV and [sup 68]Zn([sup 19]F,[alpha]2[ital n]) at 72 MeV. One sequence, dominated by [ital M]1 transitions, is interpreted as a three-quasiparticle band predominantly containing a neutron in the [ital p][sub 1/2], [ital p][sub 3/2], or [ital f][sub 5/2] subshell coupled to [ital g][sub 9/2] proton and [ital g][sub 9/2] neutron excitations. The other new level sequence forms the three-quasiparticle extension of the unfavored negative-parity band, but the states decay also by [ital E]1 transitions. The signature splitting points to a configuration where an aligned [ital g][sub 9/2] proton pair is involved.
