The invention relates to carbon chemistry and is embodied in the form of a diamond-carbon material, in which carbon is contained in the form a diamond cubic modification and in a roentgen-amorphous phase at a ratio of (40-80):(60-20) in terms of a carbon mass, respectively, wherein the inventive material comprises 89.1-95.2 mass % carbon, 1.2-5.0 mass % nitrogen, 0.1-4.7 mass % oxygen and 0.1-1.5 mass % fire-resisting impurities. The inventive method for producing said material consisting in detonating, in a closed space of a carbon-inert gas medium, a carbon-containing oxygen-deficient explosive material, which is placed in a condensed phase envelop containing a reducing agent at a quantitative ratio between said reducing agent mass in the condensed phase and the mass of the used carbon-containing explosive material equal to or greater than 0.01:1. A method for processing the samples of diamond-carbon material produced by means of a detonation synthesis for examining the elemental composition thereof is also disclosed.
