COMMENTS
Conjecture: Also the number of loop-graphs on n vertices without any non-loop edge having loops at both ends, with formula a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) 2^(k*(n-k) + binomial(k,2)). The unlabeled version is A339832. - Gus Wiseman, Jan 25 2024
The above conjecture is true since (n-k)*k + binomial(n-k,2) = binomial(n,2) - binomial(k,2) and A006125 gives the denominators for this sequence. - Andrew Howroyd, Feb 20 2024

FORMULA
E.g.f.: Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n/n! = Sum_{n>=0} exp(2^n*x)*2^(n(n-1)/2)*x^n/n!. - Paul D. Hanna, Sep 14 2009
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * 2^(binomial(n,2)-binomial(k,2)). - Andrew Howroyd, Feb 20 2024
