Using the (e, n) reaction, the half-life of the first 11/2level in 97Mo has been determined as T~/2(1437.0 keV) =2.5 +0.3 ns by means of the pulsed beam method. The experimentally obtained B(M2) value between the h11/2 and g7/2 configurations in 97Mo has been satisfactorily described within the quasiparticle-phonon model using g err =0.6 free gs . Similar calculations and comparisons with experminental data have been performed also for 95'99M0 as well as for 99Ru and l~
