We have investigated the population of nuclei formed in binary reactions involving $^{7}\mathrm{Li}$ beams on targets of $^{160}\mathrm{Gd}$ and $^{184}\mathrm{W}$. The $^{7}\mathrm{Li}$+$^{184}\mathrm{W}$ data were taken in the first experiment to use the LIBERACE Ge array in combination with the STARS Si $\ensuremath{\Delta}E\text{\ensuremath{-}}E$ telescope system at the 88-Inch Cyclotron of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. By using the Wilczy\ifmmode \acute{n}\else \'{n}\fi{}ski binary transfer model, in combination with a standard evaporation model, we are able to reproduce the experimental results. This is a useful method for predicting the population of neutron-rich heavy nuclei formed in binary reactions involving beams of weakly bound nuclei and will be of use in future spectroscopic studies.
