Wikipedia's The nature of metallic bonding; In 2D says:

Graphene is an example of two-dimensional metallic bonding. Its metallic bonds are similar to aromatic bonding in benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, ovalene, etc.

Note: I've left the block quote here for continuity, but it's convincingly argued in comments and answer(s) that "metallic" is not the best way to describe bonding in graphene.

Most 2D materials currently studied tend to fall into two categories;

(as an aside, these 2D materials usually also form van der Walls stacks analogous to graphite)

Question: Of these or others, are there any 2D materials whose bonding can be best described as metallic rather than covalent?
