We suggest a model that allows analysis of the photoprocesses in polyatomic organic molecules upon multiple IR photon capture. The dissociation and electron excitation of these molecules is shown to depend resonantly on the photon energy and intensity. The (СН$_2$)$_n$ substructures of these molecules serve for IR photons as antennas that accumulate energy to values at which dissociation or electron excitation can be triggered. The model is applied to diphenylalkan molecules as an example.
