Chiral metallomesogens , especially those exhibiting S A* and S C* phases, are of potential interest for applications in electro‐optics. The performance of the materials depends on a number of factors, including spontaneous polarization, switching speed, and tilt angle. Here, the first reports of the electroclinic behavior of a number of metallomesogens are made.
