Considering the low concentration levels of bisphenol compounds present in environmental, food, and biological samples, and the difficulty in analyzing the matrices, the main challenge is with the cleanup and extraction process, as well as developing highly sensitive determination methods. Recent advances in the field of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to their large surface area, low weight, and other extraordinary physical, chemical, and mechanical features have made these porous materials a crucial agent in developing biosensing assays. This review focuses on MOFs across their definition, structural features, various types, synthetic routes, and their significant utilization in sensing assays for bisphenol A (BPA) determination. Additionally, recent improvements in characteristics and physio-chemical features of MOFs and their functional applications in developing electrochemical and optical sensing assays via different recognition elements for detecting BPA are comprehensively discussed. Finally, the existing boundaries of the current advances including future challenges concerning successful construction of sensing approaches by employing functionalized MOFs are addressed. •Human health have been in danger because of BPAs as endocrine disrupted compounds.•A rapid sensing platform with great selectivity for detection of BPA is essential.•MOFs as well-organized crystals results in an enhancement in analytical signals.•Developments achieved in MOFs-based BPAs' assays are main subjects of study.•Analytical sensing rules along with possible challenges problems were considered.
