A covalently doubly linked cyclic chlorophyll hetero‐dyad was stereospecifically prepared as a model for naturally stacked chlorophyll suprastructures. In the synthetic dyad, two composite macrocycles are situated very close to each other such that the Q y transition dipole moments intramolecularly interact to give intense circular dichroism peaks.
