This sequence would be H_{4,n} subtracted from twice h_{4,n} in Table 8 of the Hering article if those numbers were correct, but some are not. In addition, the formula in the penultimate line of Table 5 of the article should not have an exponent for the second E_4.
The limit supremum as n approaches infinity of a(n+1)/a(n) is 16(2-sqrt(3)) or about 4.28719. - Robert A. Russell, Oct 21 2014

EXAMPLE
For n=4 the a(4)=3 solutions are the three achiral (there are no chiral) clusters that can be formed from four simplexes in four-space. One has three attached to a fourth, one has four sharing a common triangle, and the last has neither of these properties.
