Luminescence spectra of diamond microcrystals, synthesized at high pressures (5 GPa) and temperatures (1650 oC) using a nickel catalyst via spontaneous crystallization, were investigated. The nickel-related 1.72 eV emission center exhibits a complex spectral structure, including splitting of the 1.72 eV zero-phonon line and replicas arising from local phonon modes, with all spectral lines are broadened. This broadening arises from high concentrations of nitrogen impurities and other defects both point and collective incorporated into the diamond lattice. The temperature dependences of the optical center's emission-line parameters were also determined. Keywords: synthetic diamond, nickel catalyst, covalent lattice, nickel-nitrogen complexes, optical centers, luminescence, spectral multiplets.
