Explanation:
Minor spelling error in Greg's answer- feel free to award the points to him. However, I believe it is "clathrate" and not "chlatrate" (and in your question: CyclodecrinCLATHRAT and not ___chlatrat, which may be why you didn't find it). From any google search it is clear that "chlatrat" is not correct. Also, I'm a chemical engineer.

See e.g.
http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Clathrate
A clathrate is a chemical substance consisting of one type of molecule in which a second type of molecule is trapped.
