In order to investigate the effect of Pr-substitution for Y element in Y123 high-Tc superconductors, Fe{sup 57}-Mossbauer effect is measured for the samples of Y{sub 1{minus}x}Pr{sub x}Ba{sub 2}(Cu{sub 1{minus}y}Fe{sub y}){sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}z}. The Mossbauer spectrum can be decomposed into 4 sets of doublet spectrum, D1, D2, D3 and D4, and isomer shift ({delta}) and quadruple splitting (Eq) for each component are obtained. The authors find that {delta} on CuO{sub 2} plane increases with x in Y{sub 1{minus}x}Pr{sub x}Ba{sub 2}(Cu{sub 0.96}Fe{sub 0.04}){sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}z} as well as increase with oxygen reduction in YBa{sub 2}(Cu{sub 0.96}Fe{sub 0.04}){sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}z} while {delta} in the samples containing Pr decreases by oxygen reduction above z=0.25. These variation of {delta} can be interpreted by the change of 4p electrons in virtual Fe 4p orbital which is induced by hybridization with O 2p of the nearest oxygen ions.
