The invention is to provide a process for industrially advantageously
producing InP fine particles having a nano-meter size efficiently in a
short period of time and an InP fine particle dispersion, and there are
provided a process for the production of InP fine particles by reacting
an In raw material containing two or more In compounds with a P raw
material containing at least one P compound in a solvent wherein the
process uses, as said two or more In compounds, at least one first In
compound having a group that reacts with a functional group of P compound
having a P atom adjacent to an In atom to be eliminated with the
functional group in the formation of an In-P bond and at least one second
In compound having a lower electron density of In atom in the compound
than said first In compound and Lewis base solvent as said solvent, and
InP fine particles obtained by the process.
