The structural properties of various salts of methanetrisulfonic acid (H 3 mts) are described, spanning the free acid, ammonium and alkali metals (Na, K, Cs), first row transition metals (Cr, Co−Zn), and lead. A number of different coordination modes is found, including unexpected motifs such as the κ 3 O 1,4,7 coordination in the lead salt and anions of the type [M(H 2 O) 4 (κ 2 O 1,4 ‐mts)] − (M=Co, Ni, Zn), which do not seem to be persistent in aqueous solution.
