Density functional theory is used to study the electronic states at the zigzag edges of graphene terraces, considering bare edges and H, F, Cl, NH 2 terminations. In contrast to the H and F terminations, periodic structural reconstructions are observed for the Cl and NH 2 terminations due to interaction between the terminating atoms/groups. It is shown that the Cl termination of the edges leads to p‐doping of the terraces, whereas NH 2 termination results in n‐doping.
