COMMENTS
This self-inverse permutation (involution) of natural numbers preserves both the total number of prime divisors and the (index of) largest prime factor of n, i.e., for all n it holds that A001222(a(n)) = A001222(n) and A006530(a(n)) = A006530(n) [equally: A061395(a(n)) = A061395(n)]. It also preserves the exponent of the largest prime: A053585(a(n)) = A053585(n).
From the above it follows, that this fixes prime powers (A000961), among other numbers.
Considered as a function on partitions encoded by the indices of primes in the prime factorization of n (as in table A112798), this implements an operation which reverses the order of horizontal line segments of the "steps" in Young (or Ferrers) diagram of a partition, but keeps the order of vertical line segments intact. Please see the last example in the example section and compare also to the comments given in A242419.

FORMULA
If n = p_a^e_a * p_b^e_b * ... * p_h^e_h * p_i^e_i * p_j^e_j * p_k^e_k, where p_a < ... < p_k are distinct primes (sorted into ascending order) in the prime factorization of n, and e_a .. e_k are their nonzero exponents, then a(n) = p_{k-j}^e_a * p_{k-i}^e_b * p_{k-h}^e_c * ... * p_{k-a}^e_j * p_k^e_k.
As a recurrence: a(1) = 1, and for n>1, a(n) = (A000040(A241919(n))^A067029(n)) * A242378(A241919(n), a(A051119(A225891(n)))).
By composing/conjugating related permutations:
a(n) = A069799(A242419(n)) = A242419(A069799(n)).
EXAMPLE
For n = 10 = 2*5 = p_1 * p_3, we get p_(3-1) * p_3 = 3 * 5 = 15, thus a(10) = 15.
For n = 20 = 2*2*5 = p_1^2 * p_3^1, we get p_(3-1)^2 * p_3^1 = 3^2 * 5 = 45, thus a(20) = 45.
For n = 84 = 2*2*3*7 = p_1^2 * p_2 * p_4, when we reverse the deltas of indices, but keep the exponents same, we get p_(4-2)^2 * p_(4-1) * p_4 = p_2^2 * p_3 * p_4 = 3^2 * 5 * 7 = 315, thus a(84) = 315.
For n = 2200, we see that it encodes the partition (1,1,1,3,3,5) in A112798 as 2200 = p_1 * p_1 * p_1 * p_3 * p_3 * p_5 = 2^3 * 5^2 * 11. This in turn corresponds to the following Young diagram in French notation:

Reversing the order of horizontal line segment lengths (1,2,2) to (2,2,1), but keeping the order of vertical line segment lengths as (3,2,1), we get a new Young diagram

which represents the partition (2,2,2,4,4,5), encoded in A112798 by p_2^3 * p_4^2 * p_5^1 = 3^3 * 7^2 * 11 = 14553, thus a(2200) = 14553.
