We report on neutron scattering studies on the frustrated s=1/2 spin chain cuprates LiCu₂O₂ and Li₂ZrCuO₄ and discuss these results against the background of their macroscopic properties. In both compounds, the interplay between nearest and next-nearest neigbor interactions yields a helical ground state. For LiCu₂O₂, results on the nuclear as well as on the magnetic structure have been determined, as well as preliminary data on the magnetic excitations. We will also present magnetic excitation spectra measured on Li₂ZrCuO₄ which is a new spin chain compound close to the critical frustration between helical and ferromagnetic in-chain order.
