The reduced electric quadrupole transition rates have been calculated for the states of the negative parity bands in [Formula: see text]Cd nuclei using semiclassical model (SCM). The calculated transition rates are found to be decreasing with increasing spin for the states above [Formula: see text] and the dynamic moment of inertia [Formula: see text] of the higher spin states are found to be almost constant. The calculated B(E2) values show better agreement with the experimental B(E2) values for [Formula: see text]Cd. The results for both [Formula: see text]Cd and [Formula: see text]Cd nuclei show a very rapidly increasing value of the [Formula: see text] ratio with increasing spin, suggesting the antimagnetic rotational character of the states lying above the spins [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively.
