There is provided an organosol of surface-modified fluoride colloid
particles obtained by coating the surface of a fluoride colloid particle
as a core with an organophosphorus compound and a method for producing
the organosol. An organosol of a surface-modified fluoride colloid
particle comprising: a fluoride colloid particle as a core; and at least
one type of an organophosphorus compound selected from a group consisting
of organophosphorus compounds represented by the following general
formulae (1), (2), and (3):
(R--O).sub.nP(.dbd.O)(OM).sub.3-n (1)
(R--O).sub.nP(OM).sub.3-n (2)
(R).sub.nP(.dbd.O)(OM).sub.3-n (3)
where R represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, alkenyl
group or aryl group, M represents a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal or
NZ.sub.4 (Z represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group); and n
represents an integer of 1 or 2, the organophosphorus compound coating a
surface of the fluoride colloid particle.
