A method for producing a conjugated aromatic compound comprising reacting an aromatic compound (A) represented by the formula (1) wherein n represents 0 or 1, m represents (3-n), R1 represents a C1-C20 alkyl group etc., R2 is independently in each occurrence a hydrogen atom etc., X1 and X3 independently each represent a chlorine atom etc., with an aromatic compound (A) having the same structure as that of the above-mentioned aromatic compound (A) or an aromatic compound (B) wherein the aromatic compound (B) is structurally different from the above-mentioned aromatic compound (A) and one or two leaving groups selected from the group consisting of an iodine atom, a bromine atom and a chlorine atom are bonded to an aromatic ring, in the presence of a nickel compound, a metal reducing agent, and a 2,2′-bipyridine compound having at least one electron-releasing group and having no substituent at 3-, 6-, 3′- and 6′-positions.
