Differential cross section angular distributions for the {sup 6,7}Li({ital p},{ital n}){sup 6,7}Be reactions have been measured at energies between 60 and 200 MeV. The experimental angular distributions are analyzed using a microscopic distorted wave impulse approximation. The results of self-consistent microscopic distorted wave calculations based on a complete set of weak and electromagnetic data for the mass 6 and 7 systems are also presented. Total observed Gamow-Teller strength up to about 40 MeV excitation energy is reported. Energy dependence of the {sigma}{tau} and {tau} effective interaction terms are presented up to 200 MeV. The measured ({ital p},{ital n}) cross sections for the {sup 7}Be (g.s.) and {sup 7}Be (0.43 MeV) transitions are used to obtain the branching ratio of the {sup 7}Be (g.s.) decay to the g.s. and 0.478 MeV states in {sup 7}Li. Zero degree polarization transfer ({ital D}{sub {ital N}{ital N}}) data at {ital E}{sub {ital p}}=80, 120, 160, and 200 MeV are reported for the {sup 6}Li({ital p},{ital n}){sup 6}Be (g.s.) and for the {sup 7}Li({ital p},{ital n}){sup 7}Be (g.s.+0.43 MeV) reactions. Energy dependence of total and zero degree differential cross section for the {sup 7}Li({ital p},{ital n}){sup 7}Be (g.s.+0.43 MeV) transitions are reported. Finally a comparison is presented for the ({ital n},{ital p}), ({ital p},{ital p}{prime}), and ({ital p},{ital n}) reaction in {sup 6}Li populating isospin triplets.
