, by formal electron count, should have Sn in a highly unusualvalence state and was therefore suggested to be a valence-skipping compound with potential for negative-centers and local electron pairing. It has been proposed that the latter may be the mechanism beyond seemingly conventional superconductivity in this compound. We report NMR measurements and first-principles calculations that agree with each other perfectly, and both indicate that valence skipping does not take place and the highly unusualstate is realized instead, likely because of geometrical constraint prohibiting a breathing distortion that could screen the on-site Coulomb repulsion.
