Titanium oxide pigments, coated with SiO2-AlO3 system, prepared following four different synthesis ways, have been characterised by Al-27 high resolution solid-state NMR. The spectra of these "model" pigments depend upon the synthesis path and the annealing temperature. MQ-MAS experiments are used to separate the different contributions, which overlap in the usual single pulse experiment MAS spectrum. From CPMAS and REDOR experiments, it is possible to describe further the different Al-6 species evidenced by MQ-MAS.
