Normally sequences like this are not included, since with the alternating 0's deleted it is already in the database.
Stirling transform of a(n)=[0,2,0,24,0,720,...] is A052841(n)=[0,2,6,38,270,...]. - Michael Somos, Mar 04 2004
Stirling transform of a(n-1)=[1,0,2,0,24,0,...] is A000670(n-1)=[1,1,3,13,75,...]. - Michael Somos, Mar 04 2004
Stirling transform of a(n-1)=[0,0,2,0,24,0,...] is A052875(n-1)=[0,0,2,12,74,...]. - Michael Somos, Mar 04 2004
Stirling transform of (-1)^n*A052811(n)=[0,2,-6,46,-340,...] is a(n)=[0,2,0,24,0,...]. - Michael Somos, Mar 04 2004
Also n-th derivative of arctanh(x) at x=0. - Michel Lagneau, Aug 13 2012
Binomial convolution square of A177145 (with offset 0) because each permutation in S_{2n} uniquely determines a bi-partition of its elements into even and odd cycles and these are both enumerated by A177145. - Michael Somos, Mar 19 2019

FORMULA

E.g.f. 1/(1-x^2) = d/dx log(sqrt((1+x)/(1-x))). a(2n)=(2n)!, a(2n+1)=0. - Michael Somos, Mar 04 2004
a(n) = Product_{k=0..n/2-1} binomial(n-2k,2)*2^(n/2) for even n. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jun 05 2016
D-finite with recurrence a(n) = n*(n - 1)*a(n-2), a(0)=1, a(1)=0.
a(n) = n!*((-1)^n + 1)/2. (End)
