Comments

Permutations are ranked in lexicographic order with the identity permutation as rank 0.

The tree is complete when n = 2^k - 1.

Also the tree has A070939(n) levels and the tree height is floor(log_2(n)).

Example

For n = 5, the tree is
      0
     / \
    1   2
   / \
  3   4
Pre-order traversal is vertices {0,1,3,4,2} and among the permutations of 0..4 this has rank a(5) = 3.

(Python)
from binarytree import Node, build
from sympy.combinatorics import Permutation
a = lambda n: Permutation([node.value for node in build(list(range(n))).preorder]).rank()
print([a(n) for n in range(1, 26)])
