Improved molecularly‐defined cobalt catalysts for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol have been developed. A key factor for increased productivity (up to twofold compared to previous state‐of‐the‐art‐system) is the specific nature of substituents on the triphos ligand. In addition, the effect of metal precursors, and variations of additives have been investigated.
