It was shown that the evolution of the B(E2; 2+
1 → 0+
1 ) values in N = 80 isotones from Te to Nd is affected by
the underlying subshell structure. This manifests itself in the observation of the local suppression of the B(E2)
value at Z = 58 with respect to the neighboring nuclei 136Ba and 140Nd. To investigate this shell sensitivity
toward the Z = 64 subshell gap, the B(E2; 2+
1 → 0+
1 ) value of the unstable nucleus 142Sm was measured
utilizing the projectile Coulomb excitation technique. The radioactive ion beam (RIB) experiment was performed
at the REX-ISOLDE facility at CERN. The B(E2) value of 32 (4) W.u. reflects the impact of the π(1g7/2 2d5/2)
subshell closure at Z = 64 with respect to a linear scaling of collectivity with valence proton number.
