The technical problem which is solved by the present invention is lowering toxicity of the polyphenylene which is produced. Polyphenylene producing method is carried out by polymerization of phenols. This method differs from the prototype method by using hydroquinone as a phenol, which is predissolved in water or in alcoholic solution, adding hydrogen peroxide in the presence of transition metal aquo-ions, and controlling temperature during polymerization keeping it not higher than the boiling point, and controlling pH in the range of 2-7. It is advantageous to use aquo-ions of such metals as Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Ni, Co, Zn or a combination thereof. The polymerization process being carried out using 10-20% aqueous hydroquinone solution.
