Ferroin is a chelate complex of complex- bound iron (II) or, in a broader sense, iron (III) (ferriin) and (1,10) phenanthroline . The counterion is usually sulfate (SO 4 2− ).
Ferroin serves as a redox indicator in redox titrations (e.g. cerimetry ), since the color of the complex changes from red (Fe 2+ , Ferroin) to blue (Fe 3+ , Ferriin) through oxidation . The Standardredoxpotential E 0 at pH = 7 is +1.06 V .
