Unicast currently ends at 223.255.255.255.
224.0.0.0/4 is multicast and I believe that

252.0.0.0/6 are listed as reserved for experimental purposes.



From RFC3330:



240.0.0.0/4 - This block, formerly known as the Class E address
   space, is reserved.  The "limited broadcast" destination address
   255.255.255.255 should never be forwarded outside the (sub-)net of
   the source.  The remainder of this space is reserved for future use.
