https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal%20aromaticity
Metal aromaticity or metalloaromaticity is the concept of aromaticity, found in many organic compounds, extended to metals and metal-containing compounds. The first experimental evidence for the existence of aromaticity in metals was found in aluminium cluster compounds of the type where M stands for lithium, sodium o...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forisome
Forisomes are proteins occurring in the sieve tubes of Fabaceae. Their molecules are about 1–3 μm wide and 10–30 μm long. They expand and contract anisotropically in response to changes of electric field, pH, or concentration of Ca2+ ions. Unlike most other moving proteins, the change is not dependent on ATP.
