The new metal-ligand feature of MM3 has been extended to benzocrown ether complexes of alkali and alkaline earth cations. Over 50 complexes were compared with the crystal structures retrieved from Cambridge Crystal Database. The results agree with experimental data. The averages of absolute deviations between experimental and calculated structural features are: metal-oxygen bond length, 0.03 {angstrom}; Metal-oxygen-carbon angles, 4.1{degrees}; and Metal-oxygen-carbon-carbon angles: 5.1{degrees}. Development of structure-function relationships is in progress.
