Abstract
Provided is a production process by which polyarylene sulfide can be obtained at a low temperature and in a short time, which production process is a process for producing polyarylene sulfide, comprising heating a cyclic polyarylene sulfide in the presence of a zero-valent transition metal compound. Examples of zero-valent transition metal compounds include complexes comprising, as metal species, nickel, palladium, platinum, silver, ruthenium, rhodium, copper, silver, and gold, and heating is preferably carried out in the presence of 0.001 to 20 mol % of the zero-valent transition metal compound based on sulfur atoms in the cyclic polyarylene sulfide.
