At the RIKEN, $$beta$$-delayed $$gamma$$-ray spectroscopy studies were conducted on $$^{117}$$Rh and $$^{119}$$Rh, resulting in the world's first successful identification of a 1/2$$^-$$ isomer in these isotope, extending the energy difference between the 9/2$$^+$$ and 1/2$$^-$$ states up to neutron number $$N$$=74. Comparison of the new results with state-of-the-art calculations suggests that triaxial deformation plays a significant role in the evolution of the energy difference, indicating a shape transition from axially symmetric to triaxial deformation within the Rh isotopic series. These findings provide new insights into the structure of neutron-rich nuclei in the atomic number $$A sim 110$$ region, elucidating the interplay between triaxial deformation and shell evolution.
