Article abstract of DOI:10.1107/S010827019601565X

The Co atom in the title cobaloxime, [CoCl-(C₁₄H₁₁N₂O₂)₂(C₁₂H₂₇P)], is octahedrally coordinated to the two bidentate diphenylglyoximato ligands, approximating a plane with the Cl and P atoms located above and below the plane. The diphenylglyoximato moieties are themselves bent 6.6(1) and 9.8(1)° from the central plane of the four N atoms by the bulk of the tri-n-butylphosphine ligand. The four phenyl rings of the two diphenylglyoximato groups form a propeller geometry with an average rotation from the central plane of 47(5)°.
