The results of magnetic measurements performed on YBa{sub 2}(Cu{sub 1{minus}x}Zn{sub x}){sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}} superconducting materials with x {<=} 0.1, in the temperature range 5--300 K and fields up to 70 kOe are reported. The rate of induction of Cu{sup 2+} ions, as compared to the number of Zn ones, is 1:1 for x {<=} 0.05. For higher zinc content the number of Cu{sup 2+} ions is smaller than that of Zn{sup 2+} ions. The reciprocal of critical temperature {Tc}{sup {minus}1} and of critical current densities, j{sub c}{sup {minus}1}, are linearly dependent on Cu{sup 2+} content.
