Most liquid crystals with a C3 symmetry have so far been discotic systems, e.g., triphenylenes. In the context of calamitic systems research has concentrated on triptycenes and to a lesser extend on silatranes. In this contribution we report our investigations of cholesteric silatrane systems, which have been obtained by connecting a tribenzylsilatrane core to cholesteric groups via alkyl and siloxane spacer groups.
