Can ozone oxidise iodine to periodic acid?

Question

I noticed that the reaction of ozone with $\ce{I_2}$ gives iodic acid and not periodic acid. Upon searching, I found this question:

Why does iodine get oxidized to iodic acid and not periodic acid by nitric acid?

The answer says, nitric acid isn't strong enough to oxidise it, but my question is, even ozone is also not strong enough? And, is there no other reagent that could oxidise iodine to periodic acid except the electrolytic oxidation?

The reaction is: $$\ce{I_2 + 5 O_3 + H_2O ->2 HIO_3 + 5 O_2}$$

Answer 1

Ozone is not mentioned in the synthetic techniques reported by Wikipedia, citing Greenwood and Earnshaw[1].

Summary:

• Orthoperiodate ion, $\ce{IO6^{5-}}$, is obtained by alkaline oxidation of iodate either electrolytically on a lead dioxide anode or chemically with chlorine. The product may then be acidi-fied to $\ce{H5IO6}$. Alkaline conditions favor formation of the oxygen-rich orthoperiodate ion; note the inclusion of hydroxide ions in $\ce{IO3^- + \color{blue}{4 OH^-}->H2IO6^{3-} + H2O +2e^-}$ (the periodate ion is listed partially protonated, as it appears at pH 14 in the Pourbaix diagram from [2]).

• Metaperiodic acid, $\ce{HIO4}$, may be obtained by dehydration of the ortho acid. This can be accomplished by heating to 100°C (but below 150°C) or by treatment with dilute nitric acid.

Answer 2

There was a previous question in Chem.SE which discussed the reaction between iodine and ozone. The product was found to be tetraiodine nonoxide, $\ce{I4O9}$. This reaction was performed in gas phase and published in a paper¹. The reaction was done in a flow system, with $\ce{N2/O2}$ mixture as carrier gas at a pressure of 100 kPa and temperature range of 293-370 K. It was noted that $\pu{3.9 \pm 0.2}$ molecules of ozone reacted with one molecule of iodine. The reaction was of first order with rate constant, $\pu{ln k = ( 14.7 \pm 0.6) -( 2050 \pm 230)T^{-1} dm^3.mol^-1.s^-1}$.
