I guess I should have added “periodic” structures, explained self assemble, ... oh well. So, No, nature didnt figure out anything close to these constructs until it evolved humans who did it. Zeolites exist in nature but they are not made up of organic molecules and were not as easily designable materials until these techniques were developed.

So you're discounting living organisms themselves?
