Abstract:
A polycarbonate resin obtained by polymerizing an aromatic diol and a carbonate-forming compound using a monophenolic compound as a molecular weight modifier, wherein said polycarbonate resin contains from 0.2 to 2% by weight of a low-molecular weight compound represented by formula (I): ##STR5## wherein R.sup.1 represents an aromatic diol residue; and R.sup.2 represents a monophenolic compound residue, andwhen said polycarbonate resin is heated at 350.degree. C. under reduced pressure of 1 mmHg for 20 minutes, the amount of the low-molecular weight compound of formula (I) which volatilizes is not more than 0.2% by weight based on the weight of said low-molecular weight compound of formula (I) present in the polycarbonate resin.
