The Diminished Scale is a series of alternating Whole and Half Steps.

The Diminished Scale can be constructed by combining 2 minor tetrachords a tritone apart. C- and F♯- , Db- and G-, D-and Ab -.
It can also be constructed by combining 2 fully diminished chords a tone apart. Co7 and Do7, Dbo7 and Ebo7, Do7 and Eo7

There are 3 Diminished Scales.Scale 1 for C, Eb, F♯,A - Scale 2 for C♯,E, G, Bb - Scale 3 for D, F, Ab,
Scale can be used over Diminished Chords with the same root. Scale can be used over dominant 7th (b9) starting a half step above the root.

Diminished Traids over major 2-5-1 Progression

Substitute V with Ab / B / D / F dim triads. Substitute I with dim triad for implied VI – Bb / Db / E / G dim triads
Dm – G7 – CΔ ( A7) Fm – Bb7 – EbΔ (C7) Abm – Db7 – F♯Δ (Eb7) Bm – E7 – AΔ (F♯7)
Substitute V with A / C / Eb / F♯ dim triads. Substitute I with dim triad for implied VI – B / D / F / Ab dim triads
Ebm – Ab7 – DbΔ (Bb7) F♯m – B7 – EΔ (Db7) Am – D7 – GΔ (E7) Cm – F7 – BbΔ (G7)
Substitute V with Bb / CDb/ E / G dim triads. Substitute I with dim triad for implied VI – C / Eb / F ♯/ A dim triads
Em – A7 – DΔ ( B7) Gm – C7 – FΔ (D7) Bbm – Eb7 – AbΔ (F7) Dbm – F♯7 – BΔ (Ab7)

Each Diminished chord can be a Substitute chord for 4 different dom 7 (b9) Chords
Abo7, Bo7, Do7, Fo7 = E7(b9), G7(b9), Bb7(b9), Db7(b9)
Ao7, Co7, Ebo7, F♯o7 = F7(b9), Ab7(b9), B7(b9), D7(b9)
Bbo7, Dbo7, Eo7, Go7 = F♯7(b9), A7(b9), C7(b9), Eb7(b9)
