摘要

Stabilized inorganic nanoparticles which have been stabilized with a protective ligand bonded to the particle surface, wherein part of the bonding sites on the inorganic nanoparticle surface have been bonded to the protective ligand and the other bonding sites remain as free sites which are not bonded to the protective ligand, and the amount of the protective ligand bonded to the inorganic nanoparticles is a given critical bonding amount or the mode of modification of the surface of the inorganic nanoparticles by the protective ligand bonded is a given critical modification mode. The stabilized inorganic nanoparticles have been stabilized with a protective ligand, and a function can be rapidly and easily imparted thereto by bonding to a functional ligand.
