We have measured deexcitation $$gamma$$ rays for the first time in the neutron-rich nuclei of $$^{246}$$Pu$$_{152}$$ and $$^{245}$$Pu$$_{151}$$ produced by the ($$^{18}$$O, $$^{16}$$O) and the ($$^{18}$$O, $$^{17}$$O) reactions, respectively. The ground-state band of $$^{246}$$Pu was established up to 12$$^{+}$$ states. The systematics of the moments of inertia of $$_{94}$$Pu isotopes suggests that the $$N = 152$$ deformed subshell closure disappears in these isotopes. The measurements of deexcitation $$gamma$$ rays in $$^{245}$$Pu shows a small energy spacing between neutron orbitals at $$N = 152$$, which explans the disappearance of the subshell closure.
