Abstract. The properties of low-lying states in 136Ba, 144Nd and 94Mo are investigated within the quasiparticle phonon model. It is shown that the strong quadrupole interaction in the particle-particle channel leads to the appearance of low-lying isovector excitations. Two branches, an isoscalar and an isovector ones, are thus observed in the low-energy sector of the spectrum. Both branches show peculiar regularities in the E2 and Ml transitions.
