We present systematic shell-model studies of even-even $^{ 98-130}$Cd isotopes using a realistic effective shell-model interaction derived from the G-matrix approach with an inert core $^{ 88}$Sr. Our calculated low-lying excited energy spectra and electromagnetic properties are compared with the experimental data. On the basis of recently available experimental data, we predict spins and parities corresponding to unconfirmed states. We also discuss the properties of $8^+$ isomeric states in $^{ 98-104,130}$Cd isotopes.
