COMMENTS
Note that if n=p^k for p prime then a(n) is coprime to n (i.e., a(n) is not divisible by p).
a(n) is also the number of labelings for the simple graph K_n X K_n, the graph Cartesian product of the complete graph with itself. - Geoffrey Critzer, Oct 16 2016
a(n) is also the number of knockout tournament seedings with 2 rounds and n participants in each match. - Alexander Karpov, Dec 15 2017

FORMULA
a(n) = A034841(n)/A000142(n).
a(n) ~ exp(n - 1/12) * n^((n-1)*(2*n-1)/2) / (2*Pi)^(n/2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 23 2018
EXAMPLE
a(2)=3 since the possibilities are {{0,1},{2,3}}; {{0,2},{1,3}}; and {{0,3},{1,2}}.
