21ed5/2 is the equal division of the 5/2 interval into 21 parts of approximately 75.539 cents each. It roughly corresponds to 16edo.
Theory
From a no-threes point of view, 21ed5/2 tempers out 50/49 in the 7-limit (being a jubilic system similar to 13ed5/2), 625/616 and 176/175 in the 11-limit, and 143/140, 715/686 and 847/845 in the 13-limit. It is not particularly excellent as a no-threes system with the 5/4 and 7/4 being noticeably off, but can work for 5/2-equivalent jubilic.
