The spectroscopy and structure of excited states of N \sim Z nuclei in the mass 70–100 region has been investigated using two techniques. In the A \sim 70–80 region fusion evaporation reactions coupled with the recoil- \beta -tagging method have been employed at Jyvaskyla to study low-lying states in odd–odd N = Z nuclei. Results from these and other data for known odd–odd nuclei above mass 60 will be discussed. In the heavier mass 90 region a fragmentation experiment has been performed using the RISING/FRS setup at GSI. This experiment was primarily aimed at searching for spin gap isomers in nuclei around A \sim 96. The objectives of the latter experiment will be discussed.
