Chord tones

The 3rd–b7 tritone keeps the dominant pull, and the sharp 5th adds whole-tone tension and pulls upward. Don't play a perfect 5th alongside it.

Sound character

Tense, lifted and whole-tone — a charged dominant.

Harmonic function

An altered dominant. The sharp 5th strengthens the motion, often toward a minor or major target.
