intercalation compound
A compound formed when a guest molecule, atom, or or ion is inserted into cavities or other spaces, particularly between layers, in a host compound, resulting in little change of structure in the host compound. For example, graphite intercalation compounds consist of (largely intact) graphite layers with guest molecules or atoms are located in between.
