A short metallofullere-peapod of Y2@C79N⊂[4]CHBC was constructed. The strong confinement effect from the large π-extended [4]CHBC nanoring induces molecular orientation of the wrapped Y2@C79N, which can be sensed by a Y2@C79N spin probe. The low susceptibility of the spin phase memory time (Tm) for the Y2@C79N spin was also found in a confined space.
