clathrate

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

clathrate

Compound formed when the small molecules of one substance fill in the holes in the structural lattice of another, solid, substance – for example, sulphur dioxide molecules in ice crystals. Clathrates are therefore intermediate between mixtures and true compounds (which are held together by ionic or covalent chemical bonds).
