%N Number of decomposable fixed-point free involutions, also the number of disconnected chord diagrams with 2n nodes on an open string.

%C Line up 2n distinguishable nodes sequentially on an open string. Connect each two nodes with only one chord, there will be a (2n-1)!! variety of chord diagrams. Amongst this variety, we can classify a diagram as disconnected when it is possible to find a node index 2s with all nodes <=2s in group A and the rest in group B where none of the chords connect nodes between group A and B.

%C The subsequence of primes begins 5, 31, 239, 4707359, 78691633, 17141242421353, no more through a(22). - _Jonathan Vos Post_, Jan 31 2011
