Ferroin, also known as tris(o-phenanthroline)iron(II), is the chemical compound with the formula [Fe(o-phen)3]SO4, where o-phen is the abbreviation of ortho-phenanthroline for 1,10-phenanthroline, a bidentate ligand. The term "ferroin" is used loosely and includes salts of other anions such as chloride. Ferroin is one of many transition metal complexes of 1,10-phenanthroline.
