Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra and their dependence on the orientation of the magnetic field relative to the crystallographic axes and temperature were measured in hexagonal boron nitride crystals. The observed dependencies are explained by the presence of two types of paramagnetic centers. The first type consists of three exchange-interacting paramagnetic centers, each with spin S = 1/2, with g-values of g∥ = 2.0 and g⊥ = 2.7, which allow for the observation of lines with effective g-values of g∥ = 6.0 ± 0.3 and g⊥ =3.5 ± 0.2 at 16 K. The exchange coupling constant was estimated from the temperature dependence of the g-factor at 16-120 K range. The second type of centers is attributed to a defect with spin S = 1/2, exhibiting g-values of g∥ = 2.18 ± 0.01 and g⊥ = 2.06 ± 0.01, with a distinct orientation in the ab plane of the crystal.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>EPR</kwd><kwd>beryllium</kwd><kwd>h–BN</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This work was supported by the Russian Science Foundation (RSF) [Grant No. 24-12-00151].</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Tsao J., Chowdhury S., Hollis M., Jena D., Johnson N., Jones K., Kaplar R., Rajan S., Van de Walle C., Bellotti E., Chua C.
