A new synthetic protocol for catalysing CO 2 hydrogenation to formic acid under mild conditions is reported, and the CO 2 hydrogenation is efficiently achieved by dcpe‐rhodium‐nitrosyl catalyst precursors, Rh(NO)(dcpe) (1) (dcpe = 1,2‐dicyclohexylphosphinoethane) and Rh(III)(NO)(dcpe)Cl 2 (2). The catalytic activity of 1 is noteworthy for being able to proceed in the absence of protic conditions. Compound 2 is characterized by NMR, IR and X‐ray crystallography. In particular, 2 is observed to bear a bent NO ligand with a Rh–N–O angle of 115.7(3)°, representing one of the smallest M–N–O angles known. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
