In dominant function, the VII half diminished chord, like its fully diminished counterpart, can take the place of the dominant V chord at a point of cadential motion. This chord, sometimes called a leading-tone diminished seventh chord , is represented by the Roman numeral notation vii ø 7 , the root of which is the leading-tone to the tonic ...
The half diminished scale is a seven-note musical scale. It is more commonly known as the Locrian ♯ 2 scale [ 1 ] or the Aeolian ♭ 5 scale , names that avoid confusion with the diminished scale and the half-diminished seventh chord (minor seventh, diminished fifth).

The distinctive scale degree here is the diminished fifth (d5).

Harmonic minor contains seven types of seventh chords: a minor major seventh chord (i m(maj7)), a half-diminished seventh chord (ii m7(−5)), an augmented major seventh chord (III aug(maj7)), a minor seventh chord (iv m7), a dominant seventh chord (V 7), a major seventh chord (VI maj7), and a diminished seventh chord (vii dim7).
A leading-tone chord is a triad built on the seventh scale degree in major and the raised seventh-scale-degree in minor. The quality of the leading-tone triad is diminished in both major and minor keys. [12] For example, in both C major and C minor, it is a B diminished triad (though it is usually written in first inversion, as described below).
