a(n) (n>=1) is the first Zagreb index of the triple-layered naphthalenophane G(n,n,n) having n hexagons in each layer. The first Zagreb index of a simple connected graph is the sum of the squared degrees of its vertices. Alternately, it is the sum of the degree sums d(i)+d(j) over all edges ij of the graph. The pictorial definition of G(p,q,r) can be viewed in the E. Flapan references.

The M-polynomial of the triple layered naphthalenophane G(p,q,r) is M(G(p,q,r),x,y) = 8*x^2*y^2 + 4*(p + q + r + 2)*x^2*y^3 + (p + q + r - 1)*x^3*y^3 (p, q, r>=1).
