The recent progress in experimental techniques at the PS Booster-ISOLDE (CERN) following spallation of ²³²Th and ²³⁸U [1] and at FRS (GSI) in fragmentation of relativistic ²³⁸U beams [2], has opened the field for studies of β- and γ-decay from isomers in neutron rich nuclei ”south-east” of ²⁰⁸Pb, which were not accessible so far. A number of new high spin isomers were identified in ²⁰³Tl; I^π=(25/2,29/2)⁺, ²⁰⁴Tl; I^π=12⁻, ²¹²Pb; I^π=(8⁺) and (16⁺), ²¹⁵Pb; I^π=(27/2)⁺, ²¹¹Bi; I^π=(25/2)⁻ and ²¹⁵Bi; I^π=(25/2)⁻ and (29/2)⁻. The structure of these isomers provides a stringent test of the shell structure and residual interaction in the model space beyond ²⁰⁸Pb. The experimental data have been analysed using both empirical and realistic two-body matrix elements and predictions for isomerism and level schemes in more exotic nuclei are made.
