The electron and electrostatic properties of piroxicam (PX) were derived from high resolution X-ray diffraction experiments carried out at 100 K. Two forms of the piroxicam molecule have been investigated in their crystalline states. One molecule is neutral (nPX) in form I (monoclinic) of piroxicam, while the second, found in the hydrated pseudopolymorph (triclinic), is zwitterionic (zPX). In the zPX crystal, the asymmetric unit is formed by two PX molecules with different conformations. The experimental electron density was refined using the Hansen-Coppens multipole model. The electron densities were carefully analyzed using the atoms in molecules approach of Richard Bader. Integrated atomic charges compare well for the nPX and zPX molecules. The negative electrostatic potential is found to be more extended for the zPX molecules than the nPX one, probably due to the presence of the water molecules connected via hydrogen bonds. The electrostatic potential values on the molecular surface (isodensity of 0.007 e angstrom(-3)) were statistically analyzed in order to reveal local polarity, variances of the positive and negative regions, charge separation etc. In the nPX crystal, the molecular dipole is found to be equal to 9.12 D with a local dipole of 9.28 D for the SO2CN fragment. The two molecules in the asymmetric unit of the zPX crystal display dipole moment magnitudes equal to 6.83 D and 22.69 D, respectively; the corresponding SO2CN sulfonyl cyanide fragment dipoles are 10.88 D and 13.64 D. Comparisons were made for the same fragment in the sulfathiazole molecule. Hence, we have also studied the polymorphs III and IV of the sulfathiazole; the asymmetric unit for polymorph III contains two molecules. The resulting SO2CN dipole moment values are 11.19 D and 11.18 D found for the two molecules in polymorph III and 12.34 D for polymorph IV of the sulfathiazole. The intermolecular electrostatic interaction and the empirical packing energies are estimated to characterize the crystal packing of the two forms of piroxicam.
