The bis(imino)pyridine iron dinitrogen complex (((i)Pr)PDI)Fe(N(2))(2) catalyzes the hydrogen-mediated reductivecyclization of enynes and diynes with turnover frequencies comparable to those of established precious metal catalysts. Amino, oxygenated, and carbon-based substrates are readily cyclized to the corresponding hetero- and carbocycles with 5 mol % iron and 4 atm H(2) at 23 degrees C. Stoichiometric
