Anomalous large-angle scattering of {sup 3}He and {alpha}-particles on strongly clusterized nuclei such as {sup 6}Li and {sup 7}Li is in the main determined by the clusters exchange mechanism. This gives an opportunity to use the anomalous scattering for investigation of the cluster structure of nuclei in addition to more traditional methods such as transfer reactions (for example, ({sup 6}Li,d), ({sup 6}Li,{alpha}), ({sup 7}Li,{alpha})) and quasielastic knockout reactions. The present contribution reports on the results of the investigation of the elastic and inelastic scattering of {sup 3}He and {alpha}-particles on the {sup 6}Li and {sup 7}Li nuclei measured at the {sup 3}He energies of 50, 60 and 72 MeV and {alpha}-particles energy of 50.5 MeV in the full angular range. It was shown that experimental angular distributions can be described only if the exchange mechanism of the elastic and inelastic transfer of the deuteron and triton clusters was taken into account. Cluster spectroscopic factors were extracted for the ground and low-lying excited states of the {sup 6}Li and {sup 7}Li nuclei. For the ground states the experimental values of the spectroscopic factors agree well with theoretical predictions and data from the quasielastic knockout reactions. However, for the excited states the experimental values of the d- and t-spectroscopic factors differ from theoretical ones by factor of 2-3.
