Prompt and delayed gamma-ray spectroscopy of very neutron deficient bismuth 

isotopes $^{187, 189}$Bi has been performed using the recoil decay tagging method.

A rotational band has been observed in $^{189}$Bi and is interpreted as a complete decoupling

of a single proton from the deformed lead core. The results for $^{187}$Bi suggest a similar structure and coupling scheme.

This study gives the first evidence for a prolate band in a light bismuth nucleus and confirms the prolate character of

the low-lying rotational band observed in the core nuclei $^{188}$Pb and $^{186}$Pb.
