A process for preparing fluorescent metal nano-particles belongs to the process for preparing nano-materials with fluorescent property, which aims to avoid needless and harsh preparing conditions to gain the nanometer metal particles which are modified by dimercapto compounds, emit royal purple fluorescence and provided with high quantum efficiency. The process for preparation is simple in operation, easy in fetching raw materials and low in price. The sequence of the invention includes the step of preparing reversed-phase micromulsion, titrating step and separating step. Gained final products are dispersed in organic solvent of normal hexane, chloroform and octane, and the final products are capable of emitting royal purple fluorescence under the shining of an ultraviolet lamp. The invention has the advantages of simple and safe operation, good repeatability, safe and available raw materials and low price, further, the achieved products are relatively good in dispersiveness, the fluorescent property is greatly modified, the quantum efficiency increases from 10-4 to about 12%, and the stability of the product is high. The invention has a potential application prospect in the respects of optical storage, full-color display and the like.
