In this work the structural and magnetic properties of (Y,TR)CrO3+γ (TR = Dy, Gd, Nd e Pr e γ = 0 ou 1) and YFe1-xCrxO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) samples were studied and synthesized by coprecipitation method. The analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) allied to the Rietveld refinement method confirmed the formation of all phases in the systems proposed. The results of X ray absorption near edge (XANES) at K edge of Cr and Fe in YFe1-xCrxO3 series indicate a system mixed valences of Cr2+/Cr3+ and Fe2+/Fe3+. For the family of compounds (Y,TR)CrO3+γ, XRD in situ as a function of temperature measurements were performed and the results show a phase transition (Y,TR)CrO4 with tetragonal structure and space group I41/amd to the phase of perovskite (Y,TR)CrO3 with orthorhombic structure and space group Pbnm. These results were also confirmed by XANES in situ as a function of temperature measured in K Cr edge, which show a change in the XANES profile and pre and post edge energy due to change Cr5+ oxidation state (Y,TRCrO4) to Cr3+ oxidation state (TR,YCrO3). These results also show that depending on the ion Y or TR, the phase transition temperature unchanged. The magnetization measurements as a function of magnetic field and temperature for the samples of YFe1-xCrxO3 (0,5 ≤ x ≤ 1) (0.5 ≤ x ≤ 1) have antiferromagnetic ordering accompanied by a weak ferromagnetism. These results were also observed a strong dependence of TN with the Fe concentration in the structure. The reverse magnetization phenomenon was observed for the YFe0,5Cr0,5O3 sample, and the results show that this phenomenon has a strong dependence on the applied field. The magnetization measurements as a function of magnetic field and temperature ferromagnetic ordering to (Y, Dy, Gd)CrO4 and antiferromagnetic for (Nd,Pr)CrO4 samples, where the magnetic transition temperature occurred between 6 to 22 K. As for the systems (Dy,Gd, Nd, Pr)CrO3 samples showed predominant antiferromagnetic ordering, usually with two TN1 and TN2 transitions.
