From Exploring Organic Environments in the Solar System, the chapter "The $\text{CO}_2$-Dominated Atmospheres of Venus and Mars" (page 91):

..., making $\text{CO}_2$ highly stable in their atmospheres. As a result, more complex carbon-bearing species are not produced in the atmospheres of either Mars or Venus.
Ion-molecule reactions and electrical discharges also do not initiate any further carbon chemistry in either planet's atmosphere. Thus, the only carbon-bearing species observed in the martian atmosphere are $\text{CO}_2$ and $\text{CO}$. On Venus, $\text{COS}$ has been observed in addition to $\text{CO}_2$ and $\text{CO}$, and is thought to be produced at the surface by equilibrium reactions between $\text{CO}_2$,$\text{CO}$, and $\text{FeS}_2$ at the high temperature and pressure there.

Venus: The Atmosphere, Climate, Surface, Interior and Near-Space Environment of an Earth-Like Planet, Table 3 gives an overview of (all known) species in Venus's atmosphere.
They are: $\text{CO2, N2, Ar, Ne, H2O, HDO, SO2, COS, CO, HCl, HF, O, OH, H.}$

Conclusion: although no articles or papers were encountered that state that no organic compounds (compounds with carbon-hydrogen bonds) were found on Venus, the two cited surveys of the atmosphere demonstrate that indeed they were not.
