COMMENTS
Clauses are multisets of 3 literals chosen from {x_1, ..., x_n, not x_1, ..., not x_n}; repeated literals inside a clause are allowed. A formula is a multiset of 3 such clauses, so repeated clauses are also allowed.
This is the m=3 column of A396351.

FORMULA
a(n) = 2*n*(2*n^3 + 3*n^2 + 19*n - 18)/3.
From Stefano Spezia, May 24 2026: (Start)
G.f.: 4*x*(1 + 11*x - 10*x^2 + 6*x^3)/(1 - x)^5.
E.g.f.: 2*exp(x)*x*(6 + 42*x + 15*x^2 + 2*x^3)/3. (End)
