A method for producing a transition metal complex and a conjugated aromatic compound is provided. SOLUTION: Formula (1) (In the formula, R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are each independently an optionally substituted alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an optionally substituted alkoxy group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, or substituted. Represents an optionally substituted aryl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms, and R 4 and R 5 independently represent a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.) A transition metal complex obtained by contacting a bipyridine compound represented by formula (8) with a group 9, 10 or 11 transition metal compound; and in the presence of the complex, one or two leaving groups Aromatic compound (A) bonded to an aromatic ring, and aromatic compound (A) having the same structure as this, or one or two eliminations structurally different from said aromatic compound (A) A method for producing a conjugated aromatic compound, comprising reacting an aromatic compound (B) having a group bonded to an aromatic ring.
