Infrared spectroscopy has been used to study the chemical form and approximate concentration of OH/sup -/ and OD/sup -/ in Li/sub 2/O single crystals as a function of chemical treatment. Infrared absorption maxima at (3671 +- 0.5) cm/sup -1/ and (2711 +- 3.3) cm/sup -1/ were observed for OH/sup -/ and OD/sup -/, respectively. The absorption coefficient for OD/sup -/ was determined to be 4.0 +- 0.4 absorbance units per mol part per million (mppm) OD/sup -/ per mm of sample thickness. Vacuum baking of Li/sub 2/O crystals reduced the OH/sup -/ and OD/sup -/ concentrations to < 50 mppm; baking in a low moisture-level D/sub 2/ environment at 600 to 800/sup 0/C appeared to lead to volatilization of LiD from the Li/sub 2/O crystals; and baking in D/sub 2/ containing (350 +- 50) mppm D/sub 2/O at 600 to 800/sup 0/C produced a measurable quantity of LiOD. In all cases, the observed spectra indicated the presence of only one distinguishable form of OH/sup -/ or OD/sup -/ in the Li/sub 2/O lattice. Because of the close correspondence of the observed absorption maxima to reported values for pure LiOH and LiOD, the most consistent (although not conclusive) interpretation is that the OH/sup -/ and OD/sup -/ are present as a separate LiOH or LiOD phase at room temperature. Only limited conclusions can be drawn regarding the chemical state of OH/sup -/ and OD/sup -/ during the elevated temperatures exposures. An estimate of the approximate value for the solubility of tritium in Li/sub 2/O at 800/sup 0/C was made using data from D/sub 2//Li/sub 2/O isothermal exposure experiments. This value was >= 25 mppm.
