  We have systematically studied the strong correlation effects in A-site
ordered perovskites CaCu3Ti4-xRuxO12 (x = 0, 1, 3.5, and 4) by using
photoemission and inverse photoemission spectroscopies. In x = 0, 1, 3.5, the
peak positions of the strongly correlated Cu 3d states around -3.8 eV and Ti 3d
states around 3.6 eV little change. On the other hand, in x = 4, the Cu 3d
states split into two peaks around -2.5 and -4 eV. These indicate that Ti plays
an important role to retain the strong correlation effects. In addition, the
multiplet structures of Cu 3d final states from -8 to -14 eV become weak as Ru
increases, indicating the reduction of the localized characters of Cu 3d
states. At the Fermi level, we observe the absence of spectral weight in x = 0,
1 and the development of Ru 4d in-gap states in x = 3.5, 4, which give rise to
the metal-insulator transition between x = 1 and x = 3.5.
