An explicit transformation for the series \sum \limits _{n=1}^{\infty }\displaystyle \frac {\log (n)}{e^{ny}-1}, or equivalently, \sum \limits _{n=1}^{\infty }d(n)\log (n)e^{-ny} for Re(y)>0, which takes y to 1/y, is obtained for the first time. This series transforms into a series containing the derivative of R(z), a function studied by Christopher Deninger while obtaining an analog of the famous Chowla–Selberg formula for real quadratic fields. In the course of obtaining the transformation, new important properties of \psi _1(z) (the derivative of R(z)) are needed as is a new representation for the second derivative of the two-variable Mittag-Leffler function E_{2, b}(z) evaluated at b=1, all of which may seem quite unexpected at first glance. Our transformation readily gives the complete asymptotic expansion of \sum \limits _{n=1}^{\infty }\displaystyle \frac {\log (n)}{e^{ny}-1} as y\to 0 which was also not known before. An application of the latter is that it gives the asymptotic expansion of \displaystyle \int _{0}^{\infty }\zeta \left (\frac {1}{2}-it\right )\zeta '\left (\frac {1}{2}+it\right )e^{-\delta t}\, dt as \delta \to 0.
