Trimethylsulfonium (systematically named trimethylsulfanium) is an organic cation with the chemical formula (also written as ).
==Compounds== thumb|left|upright=1.1|Structure of in its tetraphenylborate salt. Several salts of trimethylsulfonium are known. X-ray crystallography reveals that the ion has trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry at sulfur atom, with C-S-C angles near 102° and C-S bond distance of 177 picometers. Unless the counteranion is colored, all trimethylsulfonium salts are white or colorless.
