For each ECP component (in the order unprojected, ˆP0, ˆP1, , ˆPL-1
The component name
The number of Gaussians in the component
For each Gaussian in the component
The power of r; the exponent; the contraction coefficient

Note: (1) All of the information in the $ecp block is case–insensitive. (2) The L value may not exceed 4. That is, nothing beyond G projectors is allowed. (3) The power of r (which includes the Jacobian r2 factor) must be 0, 1 or 2.
