The high-spin states in ~(197)Bi are studied with the ~(197)Re(~(16)O, 6n) reaction, theenergies of ~(16)O being between 85 and 105 MeV. In-beam measurements of γ-ray excitation func-tions, γ-γ-t coincidences and γ-ray angular distributions are performed with six BGO (AC)HPGe detectors and one intrinsic Ge planar detector. Eleven new transitions and three new iso-mers at 2089, 2357 and 1968+△keV with T_(1/2)=19, 34±4, 9, 53, 4±20. 5 and 18. 04±3. 1 ns,respectively, are observed, and a level scheme established. In addition, a half-life of 36. 7±7.0 ns was determined for the first time for the previously established 2065 keV isomer.
