This invention discloses a method for producing polyarylene thioether by the catalytic oxidative coupling polymerization of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of diaryl disulfides of general formula (I) and thiophenols of general formula (11), wherein R1 to R12 are each as defined in the specification, by using oxygen in the presence of an acid. According to the above method, the reaction proceeds under very mild conditions; the procedure can be simplified; and the starting material and catalyst an available at extremely low cost. Thus, this method is advantageous industrially.
