The single crystals (M{sub 2}Cu{sub 2}O{sub 3}){sub m}(CuO{sub 2}){sub n} (M = Ca, Sr, Y, Bi) containing the ladder-type plane Cu{sub 2}O{sub 3} were obtained by the flux method using Bi- and Ba-cuprates as fluxes. The single crystals with m/n-values 5/7 and 1/1 were found to be superconducting (SC) with the onset of the transition at 80 K. The regularities of the SC crystals with the ladder-type structure were discussed from the viewpoint of the crystal chemistry.
