The β-decay properties of the very neutron-rich nucleus 85Ge, produced in the proton-induced fission of 238U, were studied at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The level scheme of 8533As52 populated in 85Geβγ decay was reconstructed and compared to shell-model calculations. The investigation of the systematics of low-energy levels in N=52 isotones together with shell-model analysis allowed us to provide an estimate of the low-energy structure of the more exotic N=52 isotone 81Cu.
