36:45:54:64 (or 1⁄1–5⁄4–3⁄2–16⁄9) is a dominant seventh chord found on the dominant scale degree (3⁄2 or V) of Ptolemy's intense diatonic scale (Zarlino), perhaps the most common 5-limit diatonic. It combines a 5/4 major third with a 16/9 Pythagorean minor seventh, creating a 64/45 tritone between the two.
