Abstract A novel zinc complex derived from a multidentate ligand, nitrilotris(ethane-2,1-diyl)tris(azanylylidene)tris(methanylylidene)tris(2-methoxyphenol), was designed and structurally investigated by elemental analyses, IR, NMR, ESI-MS, and UV–Vis studies. The density functional theory was also recorded to investigate the additional insights into the structural and electronic properties of the ligand and its complex. Both the ligand and its complex showed significant neurite outgrowth and viability in brain neuron at lower concentration when investigated for neurological properties. Thus, it can be suggested that the ligand and its complex may play a potential role in brain development, functioning as well as in the treatment of neurological disorders. Graphic abstract

Schiff base ligands, also known as privileged ligands, show a broad range of applications, particularly in food chemistry, organic synthesis, dyes and pigments, catalysis, and various biological applications [1–7]. The biological behaviour

exhibited by Schiff bases is supposed to be due to the presence of azomethine/imine linkage [8–10]. Over the years, the chemistry of Schiff bases has received extensive attention in coordination chemistry due to their ease in synthesis, denticity, strong chelating behaviour, flexible structures and, more importantly, in the formation of numerous coordination compounds with multiple applications in medicinal and material chemistry [11–20]. Literature reveals that the metal complexes with coordination number seven or higher are less developed [21, 22]. However, heptadentate Schiff base complexes, particularly tripodal complexes, constructed from tris(2-aminoethyl)amin
