While hydrogen does not strictly separate into center of mass (CMS) and relative motion in a magnetic field, a judicious gauge choice does lead to a simple Hamiltonian whose form in a state of zero translational motion of the center of mass is that of a charged particle in a magnetic field plus a coulomb potential.
