Well... yes, insofar as anything can be described by a cone angle in some meaningful fashion, as long as it's coordinated to a metal ion. But the only time you'd be using that measure is in the context of something--a crown ether included--serving as a ligand. So it's just an implausible buzz.

(I don't think "macrocyclic" comes too early; it doesn't give any special information to me. I could be totally wrong.)
