I'm looking for standard half-cell reduction potential $\ce{IO4-}$/$\ce{I2}$ in acid medium. Unfortunately I was unable to find the value in all comprehensible reference books. Hard to believe this values have not been measured or calculated so far.

Here is the standard half-cell reduction potential $\ce{IO4^{−}/I2}$ in acid medium depicted using Latimer diagram.

Note: Here $\ce{IO4-}$ (periodate ion) gets hydrated to form orthoperiodic acid which is $\ce{HIO4.2H2O}$ or $\ce{H5IO6}$.
