High-excited discrete states of boron hydrogenlike acceptors in crystalline diamond have been measured by
\ntemperature-dependent infrared absorption spectroscopy. We distinguish the boron resonant states in diamond
\ncrystals from the localized boron states in the band gap by differentiating the impurity transitions within state
\ncontinua of the valence light- and heavy-hole subbands on the basis of their relative oscillator strengths, specific
\nselection rules, and temperature dependences. Constraints on the boron binding energy and spin-orbit splitting of
\nthe valence band have been derived by analysis of the structure of the infrared absorption spectra of boron-doped
\ndiamond, in particular by a comparison with boron spectra in other semiconductors with a diamond lattice
