FORMULA
a(6) = A059103(6) - 1.
a(n) <= A059103(n).
EXAMPLE
a(6) is one less than A059103(6) because the 3-prism graph Y_3 cannot be drawn in an embedding that is both planar and unit-distance.
There are 11 connected graphs on 7 nodes that are unit-distance but non-matchstick (including Y_3+e and the Moser spindle).
