The unique electronic structure of the Nd-like Ir17+ ion allows for optical transitions of interest for metrology and the investigation of a possible variation of the fine-structure constant α. We performed spectroscopy in the optical range on Ir17+ ions produced and trapped in an electron beam ion trap (EBIT). Complex electron correlations in Ir17+ impede accurate theoretical predictions making a direct identification of transitions impossible. In a different approach, we investigated the characteristic energy scaling of fine-structure transitions with the atomic number Z. In the obtained spectra of the isoelectronic Nd-like W14+, Re15+, Os16+, and Pt18+, we identified 45 transitions contributing to these energy scalings. To confirm this method, the established transitions in Ir17+ were independently identified via their Zeeman-structures in the magnetic field of the EBIT.
