Single crystals of LaMn1-xCoxO3 (0 < x < 1) with distorted perovskite structure have been obtained by the electrodeposition technique at anode from flux melt using Cs2MoO4-MoO3 binary system as solvent. An investigation of magnetic and electrical properties of the obtained crystals as well as its comparison with those for ceramic samples of the same composition were carried out. A much weaker interplay between magnetic and electrical properties and a smaller ~8% magnetoresistance were found in the ternary oxide crystals slightly doped by Co on the verge of transition to ferromagnetic state in comparison to the data have been reported for LaMnO3+δ single crystals.
