The title compound, {(C9H14NS)[CdCl3]}n, consists of a linear [CdCl3]nn− polyanion and a trimethyl(4-sulfanylphenyl)azanium cation. The CdII atom is pentacoordinated by four μ2-Cl atoms and one terminal Cl atom in a trigonal–bipyramidal geometry. The trigonal–bipyramidal units are linked by two opposite shared faces, giving rise to infinite [CdCl3]n chains parallel to the a axis. The cations surround the chain and are linked to them by S—H...Cl and C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
