Which are crocodiles more closely realted to birds ot rabbits?

Yes, but not very closely. Specifically, crocodiles and Liopleurodon are diapsid reptiles, but that is a very large grouping of animals indeed. To illustrate, crocodiles are more closely related to chickens than they are to Liopleurodon, on account of chickens being archosaurs, just as crocodiles are. Liopleurodon belongs to the pliosaurs, a group of extinct marine reptiles with relatively short necks. They are thought to be more closely related to lizards and snakes than to crocodiles. The external similarities between Liopleurodon and crocodiles (that long snout with a multitude of sharp teeth, for example) are due to convergent evolution, not a close evolutionary relationship. However, there did exist "marine crocodiles" that lived at about the same time as pliosaurs like Liopleurodon that were much more closely related to modern crocodiles, i.e. Thalattosuchians.
