%F a(n) = (-1)^(n+1)*(2*n)!*Sum_{i=1..2n} 1/i. - _Arkadiusz Wesolowski_, Mar 25 2013
%F From _Anton Zakharov_, Oct 26 2016: (Start)
%F a(n) = (-1)^(n+1)*Sum_{k=1..n} A094310(2n,k).
%F (-1)^(n+1)*a(n) = A000254(2n) (signed bisection of A000254). (End)
%e The first 10 terms of the "full sequence" are as follows:
%e 1, 3i, -11, -50i, 274, 1764i, -13068, -109584i, 1026576, 10628640i;
%e Abbreviate "elementary symmetric function" as esf. Then, starting with {i, 2i, 3i, 4i, ...}:
%e 0th esf of {i}: 1
%e 1st esf of {i, 2i}: i+2i = 3i
%e 2nd esf of {i, 2i, 3i}: -2-3-6 = -11.
%e For the alternating terms 3i, -50i, ..., see A203240.
