COMMENTS
The Hosoya-Wiener polynomial of the graph is n(6+6t+6t^2+3t^3)+(1+2t+2t^2+t^3)^2*(t^{2n+1}-nt^3+nt-t)/(t^2-1)^2.

FORMULA
a(n) = 12n^3+36n^2-21n.
G.f.: -9*x*(5*x^2-10*x-3)/(x-1)^4. [Colin Barker, Oct 30 2012]
EXAMPLE
a(1)=27 because we have only 1 hexagon with Wiener index 6*1 + 6*2 + 3*3 = 27.
MAPLE
seq(12*n^3+36*n^2-21*n, n=1..30);
