We report a gem ‐specific homo‐ and cross‐dimerization of terminal alkynes catalyzed by a well‐defined iron(II) complex containing Cp* and picolyl N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands, and featuring a piano‐stool structure. This catalytic system requires no additives and is compatible with a broad range of substrates, including those with polar functional groups such as NH and OH.
