   Of course there are chemical compounds that have three lithium atoms in their   
   molecules.   
      
   But Star Trek's "trilithium" belongs to a third-order periodic table, just as   
   dilithium belongs to a second-order periodic table; it's an element of some   
   form   
   of exotic matter.   
      
   Not so exotic, at least in the case of dilithium, that one can't dig solid   
   chunks of it out of the ground - although a dilithium cracking station is an   
   extensive complex.
