Magneto‐chiral dichroism (MChD) is a non‐reciprocal manifestation of light–matter interaction that can be observed in chiral systems possessing a magnetization, either spontaneous or induced by an external magnetic field. With this Minireview, the authors provide a precise description of this unconventional effect, recall the main results obtained so far and, highlighting new challenges, underline the opportunities opened to molecular chemists interested in investigating this fascinating effect with implications in chemistry and beyond. For more details see the Minireview by M. Atzori et al. on page 9784 ff.
