description Dynamical symmetry plays a dominant role in the interacting boson model in elucidating nuclear structure, for which group theoretical or algebraic techniques are powerful. In this work, the higher-order interactions required in describing triaxial deformation in the interacting boson model are introduced to improve the fitting results to low-lying level energies, <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>B</mi><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mi>E</mi><mn>2</mn><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> values and electric quadrupole moments of even–even nuclei. As an example of the model application, the low-lying excitation spectra and the electromagnetic transitional properties of even–even <sup>176−198</sup>Pt are fitted and compared to the experimental data and the results of the consistent-Q formalism. It is shown that the results obtained from the model are better than those of the original consistent-Q formalism, indicating the importance of the higher-order interactions in describing the structure and the shape phase evolution of these nuclei.
