Existing isomers of benzene

There are 217 isomeric structures corresponding to benzene molecular formula C6H6. Most of these structures look strange and should not exist. I have checked in PubChem how many structures with this formula have really been submitted. Surprisingly, currently there are more than 60 isomers are found - with the source data for some of them not indicated, however.

So, the main question now is: Are all the structures present in PubChem real?
