We study special classes of potentials for which the one-dimensional (or radial) Schrödinger equation can be reduced to a triconfluent Heun equation by a suitable coordinate transformation together with an additional transformation of the wave function. In particular, we analyze the behaviour of those subclasses of the potential arising when the ordinary differential equation governing the coordinate transformation admits explicit analytic solutions in terms of the radial variable. Furthermore, we obtain formulae for solutions of the eigenvalue problem of the associated radial Schrödinger operator. Last but not least, using methods of supersymmetric quantum mechanics we relate the considered potentials to a new class of exactly solvable ones.
