IPv4 and IPv6 are different protocols and the addresses are not compatible or convertible. There are some special cases that map an IPv4 address to an IPv6 address (usually used inside software stacks to be able to use IPv6 software to handle IPv4 connections). There is no way to map normal IPv6 addresses to IPv4 or vice versa.
