Electron energy properties of cubic solid solutions Sc0.75M0.25C0.50N0.25O0.25 (M = Ti, Zr, Hf) with different ordering types of various atoms have been studied using the non-empirical band method LMTO-OAS. The nature of local interatomic bonds is considered also within the frame of cluster LCAO method with PMX parametrization. The most energetically favorable atomic ordering configurations of components in single-phase solid solutions have been established. A possibility of polytypes formation on Sc-M-C-N-O systems has been supposed.
