This study developed computational models to predict two critical explosive performance metrics—heat of detonation (Q) and detonation velocity (D)—in high-energy metal-organic frameworks (HE-MOFs) containing tetrazole ligands. Applied quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) methods and multiple linear regression (MLR) to correlate these detonation properties with molecular descriptors derived from the compounds' topological and spatial features. Two strong models for predicting Q, and D, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.916, 0.819. Average absolute deviations (AAD), and the root mean square deviation (RMSD) of 0.278–0.357 kcal g⁻¹ for Q and 0.482–0.590 km s⁻¹ for D, indicating moderate predictive accuracy. Moreover, Validation metrics (QLOO2 = 0.940, QLMO2 = 0.983 for Q; QLOO2 = 0.837, QLMO2= 0.876 for D) confirming model reliability. These results can complement experimental studies and guide managing risks associated with chemical explosive materials.
