This is the first report on nuclear structure of [sup 109]Sb. Excited states up to [ital I][sup [pi]]=27/2[sup +] and 35/2[sup [minus]] have been established using the reaction [sup 54]Fe([sup 58]Ni, 3[ital p])[sup 109]Sb and in-beam techniques. According to the particle(hole)-core coupling scheme these excited states were classified into five bands: three are based on the [pi][ital d][sub 5/2], [pi][ital g][sub 7/2], and [pi][ital h][sub 11/2] states; the other two are the [Delta][ital I]=1 collective bands built on the 17/2[sup +] state at 2651 keV and the 23/2[sup [minus]] state at 4487 keV. The 11/2[sup +][r arrow]9/2[sup +] transition in the [pi][ital g][sub 7/2] band possesses an [ital E]2/[ital M]1 mixing ratio [delta][gt]0, which suggests admixing of the [pi][ital g][sub 9/2] hole state. Positive mixing ratios observed in the collective bands indicate a prolate deformation due to the ([pi][ital g][sub 9/2])[sup [minus]1] core excitation. In the [pi][ital h][sub 11/2] band, [ital B]([ital M]1;23/2[sup [minus]][r arrow]21/2[sup [minus]]) was measured to be 0.040(3) W.u. Furthermore the 27/2[sup [minus]][r arrow]25/2[sup [minus]] transition was too weak for a proton [ital M]1 transition. These transitions are retarded by the [nu][ital h][sub 11/2] configurations mixed in the involved states.
