The water‐soluble iridium(III) complexes [Cp*Ir(PTA)Cl 2 ] ( 1 ) and [Cp*Ir(PTA) 2 Cl]Cl ( 2 ) (PTA = 1,3,5‐triaza‐7‐phosphaadamantane) have been synthesised and characterised by spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallography. The complexes were evaluated as catalyst precursors for the hydrogenation of CO 2 and hydrogen carbonate in aqueous solutions, in the absence of amines or other additives, under relatively mild conditions. Complex 1 performed poorly while 2 catalyses the hydrogenation with moderate activity. The catalytically active monohydride [Cp*Ir(PTA) 2 H] + was identified by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and its nature confirmed by independent synthesis. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
