45:54:64:81 is a half-diminished seventh chord.

Although it has a relatively high odd limit for such a chord, this particular tuning of the chord is notable for being both a preimage of the half-diminished seventh chord in meantone temperaments (including 12edo and quarter-comma meantone), and tempered together with the vastly simpler 5:6:7:9 in archytas temperament (also supported by 12edo).
