The energy-band structures of TiCx, TiNx, TiOx, VCx, VNx and VOx, for x=1.0 and 0.75, have been calculated self-consistently by the LMTO-ASA method. The equilibrium lattice constants, the bulk moduli, the cohesive energies, and the energies of vacancy formation have been determined. The available experimental data for the bulk moduli, cohesive energies and some electromagnetic data (Hall effect, magnetic susceptibility, thermopower) have been analyzed on the basis of the calculated results.
