A few atomic percent of {sup 57}Fe has been substituted for Cu in the YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{ital y}} system. Air-annealed samples are the superconducting 1-2-3 compound YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3{minus}{ital x}}{sup 57}Fe{sub {ital x}}O{sub 7{minus}{ital y}} while nitrogen-annealed samples are mainly the nonsuperconducting 2-1-1 compound Y{sub 2}BaCu{sub 1{minus}{ital x}}{sup 57}Fe{sub {ital x}}O{sub 5}. X--ray, Meissner effect, and thermogravimetric measurements have been made on both compounds. The site dependence has been studied and compared in these two compounds by the Moessbauer effect with the result that Fe prefers the Cu(l) site in the 1-2-3 compound.
