contents In this paper we consider higher order Schrödinger operators $$\mathcal L u=Lu+Vu,$$ where $L$ denotes a fourth order operator and $V\geq 0$ a suitable potential. We initiate our analysis by considering the constant coefficients differential operator $L=Δ^2$. Subsequently, we extend our results to more general operators $L$ featuring suitable variable coefficients. We are interested in domain characterization and generation properties of these operators in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^N)$ for $p \in (1, \infty)$. To address this problems we employ a noncommutative version of the Dore-Venni theorem due to Monniaux and Prüss and we prove that the $L^p$-realization of $\mathcal L$ is quasi sectorial and, consequently, generates an analytic semigroup. Furthermore, this approach allows for a sharp characterization of the operator's domain as the intersection of the domains of the bilaplacian and the multiplication operator. The required assumptions allow to treat potentials that grow at infinity like $|x|^r$ for some $r<4$.
