COMMENTS
The main entry for this sequence is A090466 = polygonal numbers of order (or rank) greater than 2.
The special polygonal numbers A324973 form a subsequence that contains all Carmichael numbers A002997. See Kellner and Sondow 2019.

FORMULA
Squarefree P(s,n) = (n^2*(s-2)-n*(s-4))/2 with s >= 3 and n >= 3.
EXAMPLE
P(3,3) = 6 which is squarefree, so a(1) = 6.
MATHEMATICA
mx = 250; n = s = 3; lst = {};
While[s < Floor[mx/3] + 2, a = (n^2 (s - 2) - n (s - 4))/2;
If[a < mx + 1, AppendTo[lst, a], (s++; n = 2)]; n++]; lst = Union@lst;
Select[lst, SquareFreeQ]
PROG
(PARI) isok(n) = if (!issquarefree(n), return (0)); for(s=3, n\3+1, ispolygonal(n, s) && return(s)); \\ Michel Marcus, Mar 24 2019
