Effect of substitution of Ca by Y on the properties of T1CaBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 2/O/sub 7/ (1122) and Bi/sub 2/CaSr/sub 2/O/sub 8+{delta}/ (2122) has been studied. Lattice parameters vary progressively with increase in Y concentration in both the systems. In T1Ca/sub 1/1-chi//Y/sub chi/Ba/sub 2/Cu/sub 2/O/sub 7+{delta}/, compositions with chi{le} 0.5 are superconducting. In Bi/sub 2/Ca/sub 1-chi/Y/sub chi/Sr/sub 2/Cu/sub 2/O/sub 8+{delta}/, compositions with chi {le} 0.5 are superconducting; oxides of both these systems become semiconducting for higher values of chi. In Bi-(Ca, Y, Sr)/sub 3/ Cu/sub 2/O/sub /8+{delta}//, T/sub c/ decreases with the increasing Y/Ca ratio becoming zero at a finite value of the ratio.
