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.
