The invention discloses a pamoic acid cadmium light-emitting material containing dipyridyl type ligand and a preparation method of the pamoic acid cadmium light-emitting material, and belongs to the technical field of organic-inorganic chemical hybridization compound preparation. The structural formula of the light-emitting material is Cd2(pam)2(bpt)2(H2O).0.68H2O, wherein pam is deprotonated pamoic acid (C23H14O6), and bpt is 2,5-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (C12H8N4S). The molecular formula of the material is C70H47.36Cd2N8O13.68S2, the material belongs to a trigonal system, the space group is shown in the description, and the cell parameter is shown in the description, wherein alpha is equal to beta and equal to 90 degrees, and gamma is equal to 120 degrees. Cheap inorganic cadmium salt and pamoic acid are adopted as reactants, organic matter 2,5-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole is adopted as the bridging ligand, the cadmium-based material of a three-dimensional metal organic skeleton structure is obtained through a hydrothermal method, and the material is a new product synthesized in a laboratory. The synthesis process and production equipment are simple, the material is high in final yield and good in thermal stability, the light-emitting intensity of the bulk phase material is high, and the material can be widely applied to various light emitting fields.
