Unrestricted large-scale shell model calculations in the 132Sn region for the nuclei 136, 138Xe and 138Ba havebeen performed using the shell model code NushellX@MSU for windows by employing the effectiveinteractions jj56pna, jj56pnb, kh5082, cw5082, jj56cdb and khhe near the closed doubly magic 132Sn corewith model space jj56pn. The calculated excitation spectra, binding energies and reduced transitionprobabilities B(E2; 01+ → 21+) are compared with available experimental data. A good global agreementwere obtained for all isotopes under study.
