X-ray phase analysis of inclusions of the growth medium, eclogite, in the diamonds under study shows an atypically high concentration of titanium compounds. To support proposed models, the hyperfine structure (HFS) from 13C in the OK1 center has been analyzed more precisely. The data obtained are consistent with attributing additional satellites around the main EPR lines to HFS from 47Ti and 49Ti. A double semivacancy model describes the directions of g and A tensor components of the OK1 center. The features of infrared and photoluminescence spectra related to the OK1/S1 and N3/440.3 nm centers are presented.
