Collective structures in ¹⁷⁸Pt have been investigated with γ-ray spectroscopic techniques following mass selection. The present data expand considerably the level scheme of this nucleus. A new collective structure has been identified and the known bands have been extended to higher spins. Firm spin and parity assignments have been made to many levels. Of particular interest are the negative parity bands which are interpreted in terms of structures associated with octupole vibrations crossed at moderate spin by two-quasiparticle excitations. The systematics of the α-decay reduced widths in Pt nuclei has also been investigated. The differences of a factor of about 2 between the widths for the odd- and the even-A isotopes is attributed to changes in neutron pairing associated with the blocking effect. The trend is reproduced in calculations based on the Lipkin-Nogami pairing model.
