%N a(n) = 32*n - 24 (n>=1).
%C a(n) (n>=2) is the second Zagreb index of the single oxide chain SOX(n), defined pictorially in the Simonraj et al. reference (Fig. 4, where SOX(9) is shown marked as OX(1,9)).
%C The second Zagreb index of a simple connected graph is the sum of the degree products d(i)d(j) over all edges ij of the graph.
%C The M-polynomial of SL(n) is M(SL(n);x,y) = 2*x^2*y^2 + 2*n*x^2*y^4 + (n - 2)*x^4*y^4 (n>=2).
