Abstract The paper presents the results of studies into ion desorption from the surface of adenine and anthracene molecular crystals and anthracene molecules adsorbed on a metal as the surface is irradiated by an uv laser at λ=249, 308, and 337 nm. A sharp increase in molecular ion yield has been revealed with a decrease in radiation wavelength down to 249 nm. At this wavelength the effect of molecular ion desorption is observed at the radiation intensity of 20∶50 kW/cm2 and pulse duration of 20 ns, it cannot be explained by thermal mechanisms. The initial velocity distribution of photoions is nonthermal by character, with maximum velocity of 2·105 cm/s in case of adenine. The mechanisms responsible for the effect observed are discussed.
