The effect of ligand nature on the resulting carbon porosity has been studied systematically using the MOFs synthesized from rigid and flexible ligands. The linear relations between Zn/C ratio of the MOF versus surface area of the resulting carbon, micro-porosity versus H-2 uptake achieved in these carbons, and surface area versus specific capacitance of the end carbons have been verified from the gas adsorption, molecular composition, and electrochemical studies, respectively. Cyclic voltammetry and charge-discharge cycling have been carried out to study the capacitive behavior of the carbons. The interdependence of capacitive behavior on the surface area has been analyzed using data derived from N-2 adsorption isotherms and charge-discharge curves. Among the carbons synthesized, C-MOF-2 shows maximal surface area of 1378 m(2)/g with a specific capacitance of 170 F/g at 1 A/g.</p>1 aAiyappa, Harshitha, Barike1 aPachfule, Pradip1 aBanerjee, Rahul1 aKurungot, Sreekumar  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/porous-carbons-nonporous-mofs-influence-ligand-characteristics-intrinsic-properties-end-0
