The invention discloses an energetic type metal-organic framework material and a preparation method thereof. The complex consists of five metal ions Co(II), four 2,2'- binitro-4, 4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid ligands, six coordinated water, two hydroxyls and sixteen crystal water. The preparation method for the energetic type metal-organic framework material comprises the following steps: adding the ligands into H2O, regulating the pH by use of LiOH, then, adding Co(NO3)2.6H2O, sufficiently stirring, placing into a stainless steel reaction kettle with a polytetrafluoroethylene lining; heating the stainless steel reaction kettle to 150 DEG C in a programmed manner and keeping the temperature for 48 hours, cooling the stainless steel reaction kettle to the room temperature in the programmed manner, leaving purple pink cubic crystal particles on the lining wall, filtering, washing and drying in the air to obtain the complex. The brisance and the work capability of the energetic material prepared by the preparation method are improved.
