Abstract: The widespread use of tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) has led to their persistent presence in aquatic environments, posing ecological and health risks such as antibiotic resistance and toxicity. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), constructed via coordination bonds between metal ions/clusters and organic ligands, have emerged as versatile materials for environmental remediation. Their tunable porosity, large surface area, and diverse coordination environments enable applications in detection, adsorption, and photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of coordination chemistry principles governing MOFs, their structure–property relationships, and recent advances (2020–2025) in tetracycline removal. Mechanistic insights, challenges, and future perspectives are also discussed.
