Structure change of Al-bearing CaTiO₃ -perovskite synthesized by the conventional solid-state reaction method was investigated. Chemical composition of Al-bearing CaTiO₃ -perovskite showed that Al exchanges Ti and the solubility of the Al component is up to about 25 mol%. XRD patterns indicated a series of morphotropic transition from orthorhombic to cubic via tetragonal. NMR spectra showed Al occurring in octahedral, pentahedral and tetrahedral sites.
