Herein, we discuss the structure-function of biomimetic imidazole-quartet substrates (I-quartets) obtained through adaptive self-assembly octyl-ureido-polyol structures in polyamide membranes designed as adsorbents. Molecular dynamics (MD) and well-tempered metadynamics simulations are utilized to examine ion contaminants' adsorption process dynamic behaviors onto alkylureido-ethylimidazoles with well-defined supramolecular structures. Moreover, atoms-in-molecules (AIM) analysis identified multiple types atomic interactions between contaminant molecules substrates. The results demonstrate that I-quartets hydrophobic tails significantly enhance species aquatic environment. Descriptors involving interaction energies mean square displacement, radial distribution function, root-mean-square deviation, number hydrogen bonds, solvent-accessible surface area estimated from simulation trajectories study this process. system containing PO
