We present the analysis of the level structure of Sn^7+..14+ ions with their many-valence-electron open [Kr]4d^m shell (m=7-0). These are essential in bright extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) plasma-light sources for next-generation nanolithography, but their complex electronic structure is an open challenge for both theory and experiment. We combine charge-state-resolved optical and EUV spectroscopy in an electron beam ion trap with state-of-the-art calculations using configuration-interaction many-body perturbation theory. Line identifications were performed employing semi-empirical calculations using the orthogonal parameters technique and cowan code calculations. The results represent the most complete data available to date and suggest that some EUV line identifications in previous work need to be revisited.
