Pair coupling between a chiral molecule and an achiral molecule can induce weak circular dichroism in the achiral partner, as is well known in induced circular dichroism. Here the effect of the same coupling on the chiral partner is analyzed. The effect is an increase or decrease in the rotatory strength that may be detectable under conditions where the effect is enhanced by a near‐resonance.
