Results of the high-frequency/field electron spin resonance investigation of the quantum S = 1/2 chain compound LiCu2O2 are presented. Spin-singlet ground state (which occurs in LiCu2O2 as a result of the spin-dimerization) is revealed at a temperature above T ~ 23 K. The size of the gap between the spin-singlet ground state and the excited triplet is found to be Δ = 72 K. Electron spin resonance study confirms a magnetic phase transition in LiCu2O2, which results in the collapse of the spin-singlet ground state at T < 23 K.
