单词 clathrate
释义
clathrate

Astronomy
  • A structure in which molecules of one substance (the guest) are physically trapped in cavities within the crystal lattice of another (the host), without specific chemical bonding between them. The noble gases and some hydrocarbons form clathrates with water, occupying cavities in an open ice structure; they are called clathrate hydrates. Cometary nuclei may contain ice in the form of clathrate hydrates.


Chemistry
  • A solid mixture in which small molecules of one compound or element are trapped in holes in the crystal lattice of another substance. Clathrates are sometimes called enclosure compounds or cage compounds, but they are not true compounds (the molecules are not held by chemical bonds). Quinol and ice both form clathrates with such substances as sulphur dioxide and xenon.


Geology and Earth Sciences
  • A compound in which molecules of one substance, commonly a noble gas, are completely enclosed within the crystal structure of another substance. Typical examples are Kr and Xe encapsulated in zeolites structures, or Ar, Kr, and Xe trapped in water ice.
