Virtually monoionic Li-X and Li-Y zeolites have been prepared by LiOH titration of parent NH{sub 4} zeolites. Structural studies have been performed at room temperature on the anhydrous zeolites, Li{sub 80.7}H{sub 4.9}Na{sub 0.4}Al{sub 86}Si{sub 106}O{sub 384} and Li{sub 46.0}H{sub 5.8}Na{sub 5.1}K{sub 0.1}Al{sub 57}Si{sub 135}O{sub 384}, by powder neutron diffraction profile refinement in order to locate Li{sup +} cations. The cell parameter are 24.6716(10) and 24.4498(12) {angstrom} for Li-X and Li-Y, respectively. Three positions have been found for Li{sup +}, sites I' and II in the six-ring windows of the sodalite unit and site III' in the supercage for the additional Li{sup +} of Li-X.
