Abstract: The interaction between calix[4]pyrrole and different solvents, conformational interconversion of calix[4]pyrrole in different solutions and hydrogen bond interaction between calix[4]pyrrole and solvent molecules were investigated by a series of MD simulation. The interaction between calix[4]pyrrole and solvents is affected by the dipole moment of solvent molecules and the hydrogen bond interaction between calix[4]pyrrole and solvents. The formation of hydrogen bond between calix[4]pyrrole and solvents is the main factor for conformational intercoversion, and the dipole moment of solvent molecule is not important in the conformational intercoversion.
