The anomalously high activation yield of the 11/2- isomeric states in odd-A Te isotopes in the (n,γ), (γ,n), and (γ,γ) reactions could be understood by the funneling of the initial gateway states through the lowest isolated 5/2- state. The peculiar deexcitation mode is governed by favored M1, E2 transitions inside the family of negative-parity states built in accordance with IBFM calculations by a coupling of the dominant 1h11/2 and 3p configurations to the neighboring bosonic even-even core.
