We study the oxidation of monovacancies in graphene by oxygen molecules using first
principles calculations. In particular, we address the local magnetic moments which develop
at monovacancies and show that they remain intact when a molecule is adsorbed such that
the dangling carbon bonds are not fully saturated. However, the lowest energy configuration
does not maintain dangling bonds and is found to be semiconducting. Our data can explain
the experimentally observed behavior of graphene under exposure to an oxygen plasma.
