The carbonitrides of metals of Groups IV, V and VI of the Periodic Table are prepared by calcining a precursor obtained by (i) reacting the reaction product of ammonia and the halide of a metal selected from the group consisting of Groups IV, V and VI of the Periodic Table of Elements with polyphenol, or (ii) reacting the reaction product of polyphenol and the halide of a metal selected from the group consisting of Groups IV, V and VI of the Periodic Table of Elements with ammonia, the amount of the polyphenol being within the range defined by the following relationship: <IMAGE> wherein a is the number of hydroxyl groups contained in one molecule of the polyphenol, b is the number of moles of the polyphenol and c is the number of moles of the metallic halide. The desired metallic carbonitride in the form of finely divided powder having a uniform size and excellent sintering properties can be obtained at low energy consumption.
