  Secondary dominant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Secondary dominants are a kind of chord used in musical harmony.
In this notation, a secondary dominant is usually labeled with the formula "V of..."; thus "V of II" stands for the dominant of the II chord, "V of III" for the dominant of III, and so on.
Secondary dominants are always major chords, not minor;(not true in some cases) thus, the secondary dominant of VI in C major is considered to be E major, not E minor.

Secondary Dominant (7th) of V: is a major triad or a major-minor 7th chord built on scale degree 2 (with scale degree 4 chromatically altered to #4).
Secondary dominant chords, in general, expand the powerful dominant-tonic relation to other scale degrees which are temporarily tonicized through them.
Secondary Diminished (7th) of V: is a diminished (7th) chord built on scale degree #4, a half step below the dominant (compare the intervallic relationship with that between the leading tone and the tonic in its diatonic counterpart).

Modulations to the dominant are sometimes difficult to determine because of the close relation of tonic to dominant.

 Seventh chord   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Called the Dominant Seventh because its intervallic relationships occur naturally in the seventh chord built on the dominant scale degree of a given key, the dominant seventh chord was the first to begin to appear regularly in Western music.
The dominant seventh chord is useful to composers because of the fact that it is a major chord with a very strong sound, that also includes a tritone between the third and seventh of the chord.
While the dominant seventh chord is typically built on the fifth (or dominant) degree of a major scale, the minor seventh chord is built on the second, third, or sixth degree.

A Secondary Dominant resolves the same way as a Dominant in that the leading tone of the scale (of the lower Roman numeral) resolves up and the seventh of the chord resolves down.
In minor, Secondary Dominants are typically only found on iv and V (V of iv and V of V).

The root of the tonic chord is a fourth above, or a fifth below, the dominant, and that's the chord that the dominant wants to move toward.
However, by changing it to be a major chord (raising the third), you create a secondary dominant, a chord that even moreso wants to resolve to the iv-chord.

 Chapter 13 - Secondary Chords
Secondary chords usually have dominant function, Chords must be major or minor in quality to be preceded by secondary chords.
When a secondary dominant progresses to a diatonic seventh chord, the momentary leading tone (third of the chord) may descend by a half step to become the seventh.
In minor, the secondary dominant seventh must be used so that a chromatic alteration occurs on the mediant chord is usable in all positions; second inversion occurs only in a descending line because it involves the subtonic scale degree.

Secondary dominants resolve just like regular dominants (to the newly tonicized I) Often, a variation of a deceptive V()—vi progression is found: V(/ vi—vi
The leading-tone in the secondary dominant chord moves up to the root of the tonicized chord.
If the chord of resolution is a seventh chord (a common case), the leading tone of the secondary dominant moves down by half step to become the 7th of the chord of resolution.

 Secondary dominants
The chords that function as a dominant in a key are V, V7, vii°, vii°7, and the half diminished seventh chord.
Standard practice for indicating a secondary dominant is V/vi (for example), where V indicates the quality and function of the actual chord as it relates to vi.
In the key of D, V is A. The dominant of A is E, and the secondary dominant chord here is E major.

 High contribution of biogenic hydroperoxides to secondary organic aerosol formation
Secondary organic aerosols are believed to make an important contribution to the atmospheric radiation budget, though the exact mechanisms responsible for their formation are still uncertain.
Although currently neglected in aerosol models, the hydroperoxides lead to 63% of our calculated global secondary organic aerosol formation, whereas carboxylic acids, usually considered as the dominant secondary organic aerosol precursors, were responsible for only 26%.
Detailed studies are needed to determine the implications of this aerosol formation pathway for the total atmospheric aerosol burden and its impacts on climate.

 Re: What are Secondary Sevenths?
So "secondary 7th" could logically mean ii7, iii7, etc. But the terms "secondary dominant" and "secondary dominant 7th" always refer to a dominant (major) triad or dominant type 7th which is chromatic to the given key.
An example would be C-E-G-Bb in the key of C. In this case, the chord is generally acting as a V7 chord to F, which is the IV chord in the key of C - so it is labeled "V7 of IV".
Sorry to not give you a straight answer, but you will need to ask the folks talking about Secondary Sevenths which meaning they have in mind.

There is no secondary dominant for the viio chord because there is no key of B diminished and the I chord already has a dominant chord, G7 in this key.
Sometimes secondary dominants are quite obvious but in most cases they will appear as a result of reharmonization - after the initial background has been laid.
