The synthesis and structure of the title compound, (C₆H₁₆N)[Cd(C₇H₅OS)₃], are reported. There are two independent formula units in the asymmetric unit. In each [Cd{S(O)CPh}₃]- anion, the Cd^II atom is located in the plane of the three S atoms. The Cd-S distances are 2.489 (1), 2.496 (1) and 2.547 (1) A in ion-pair (1), and 2.505 (1), 2.515 (1) and 2.592 (1) A in ionpair (2). In addition, there are weak intramolecular interactions between the Cd and carbonyl O atoms [Cd...O 2.537 (2), 2.663 (2) and 3.111 (2) A in (1), and 2.464 (2), 2.677 (2) and 2.718 (2) A in (2)]. Each cationanion pair is linked by a strong N-H...O hydrogen bond, with respective O...H and O...N distances of 1.925 (3) and 2.834 (3) A in (1), and 1.886 (2) and 2.789 (2) A in (2).
