Abstract: The review is concerned with analysis of the results of modern ab initio studies on the electronic structure, the nature of chemical bonding and some physicochemical properties of tungsten carbides and nitrides (W₂C, WC, W₂N, WN, WN₂, WN₃) as well as ternary compounds and solid solutions based on them, viz., carbonitrides (WC_1–xN_x), aluminocarbides (W_xAl_yC_z), double carbides and nitrides with perovskite structures (M₃WC, W₃MC and W₃MN, where M are d-metals), η-carbides (M₃W₃C and M₆W₆C), etc. The results of studies on the structures, phase stabilities, elastic and magnetic properties of tungsten-containing systems and the corresponding predictions are discussed.
