In this paper, we focus on the solutions to the following Schrödinger equations with van der Waals type potentials \(\begin{aligned} -\Delta u+V(x)u=\lambda u+\mu (|x|^{-\alpha }*|u|^{2})u+(|x|^{-4}*|u|^{2})u,~~~~ x\in {\mathbb {R}}^{N} \end{aligned}\) with prescribed mass \(\int _{{\mathbb {R}}^{N}}|u|^{2}dx=c^{2}\) , where \(N\geqslant 5\) , \(\mu , c>0\) , \(0<\alpha <4\) , V is an external potential vanishing at infinity, and the parameter \(\lambda \in {\mathbb {R}}\) appears as a Lagrange multiplier. Under some explicit assumptions on V, we prove the existence of normalized solutions for the above problem.
