A series of vanadium (V) complexes with some mixed ligands containing hydrazone moiety (L 1 -L 4 ) and o-Phenylendiamine (L 5 ) have been synthesized. The synthesized ligands and their corresponding vanadium(V) complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-Vis, 1 H-NMR, Mass spectra, molar conductance and thermal analysis. The analytical data showed that the stoichiometry of the Oxo/Dioxovanadium (V) mixed-ligand complexes were in 1:1:1 molar ratio. Structural elucidation was determined using different characterization and analytical data that supported an octahedral geometry for the synthesized vanadium (V) complexes. Some of the ligands and their vanadium (V) complexes have been screened for antimicrobial activity using different species of pathogenic bacteria and fungi. The results indicated that the ligands and their vanadium (V) complexes showed less antibacterial activity, while vanadium (V) complexes showed higher antifungal activity compared to the free ligands.
