Synthesis, characterization, and cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities of mixed-ligand hydrazone complexes of variable valence VOz+ (z = 2, 3)

Abstract

Mixed-ligand complexes of VO²⁺ and VO³⁺ motifs incorporating a family of hydrazone ligands were reported, which exhibited promising cytotoxic activity against lung cancer cell line and antimicrobial activity against four pathogenic bacterial stains.
