High-spin states of ^{191, 193}Au and ¹⁹²Pt have been populated in the ¹⁸⁶W(¹¹B, xn) and ¹⁸⁶W(¹¹B, p4n) reactions, respectively, at a beam energy of 68 MeV and their γ decay was studied using the YRAST Ball detector array at the Wright Nuclear Structure Laboratory at Yale University. The level scheme of ¹⁹³Au has been extended up to I^π = 55/2⁺. New transitions were observed also in ¹⁹¹Au and ¹⁹²Pt. Particle-plus-Triaxial-Rotor (PTR) and Total Routhian Surface (TRS) calculations were performed to determine the equilibrium deformations of the …
