Compare to: [x^n] exp( n * x ) = [x^(n-1)] exp( n * x ) for n>=1.
It is conjectured that this sequence consists entirely of integers.
a(n) is divisible by n*(n+1)/2 (conjecture); A300589(n) = a(n) / (n*(n+1)/2).

FORMULA
O.g.f. equals the logarithm of the e.g.f. of A300616.
O.g.f. A(x) satisfies: [x^n] exp(-n*A(x)) * (1 - n^2*x) = 0, for n > 0. - Paul D. Hanna, Oct 15 2018
