Hey !!
Interstitial compounds are those in which small atoms occupy the interstitial sites in the crystal lattice. Interstitial compounds are well known for transition metals because small-sized atoms of H , B , C , N, etc can easily occupy position in the voids present in the crystal lattices of transition metals.
Hope it helps you !!
