The emergence of nuclear collectivity near doubly-magic 132Sn was explored along the stable, even-even 124−130Te isotopes. Preliminary measurements of the B(E2;41+→21+) transition strengths are reported from Coulomb excitation experiments primarily aimed at measuring the g factors of the 41+ states. Isotopically enriched Te targets were excited by 198-205 MeV 58Ni beams. A comparison of transition strengths obtained is made to large-scale shell-model calculations with successes and limitations discussed.
