Fine metal particles of any one of Ag, Cu or Zn having a dispersing agent that is coordinated on the surfaces thereof, the dispersing agent having an acid value and an amine value which are both in a range of 0 to 20 mgKOH/g (wherein when either the acid value or the amine value is 0, the other one is not 0), and a dispersion solution in which the fine metal particles are dispersed. The fine metal particles and the dispersion solution containing the fine metal particles can be diluted with various kinds of solvents of either the water type or the organic type, and feature excellent dispersion property even after having been diluted. |
