COMMENTS
a(n)/2^binomial(n,2) is the expected number of pairs of vertices in a simple labeled graph on n nodes that share no common neighbor. This expectation approaches 0 as n gets big. Hence almost all graphs have diameter 2.

FORMULA
a(n) = 2^binomial(n, 2)*binomial(n, 2)*(1 - (1/2)^2)^(n - 2).
EXAMPLE
a(3)=18. There are 3 such pairs of vertices in the empty graph. There are 3 pairs in each of the 3 labelings of the graph with one edge. There are 2 pairs in each of the 3 labelings of the path of length two. 3 + 3*3 + 2*3 = 18.
