Abstract: In this paper we compute the mapping class group of closed simply-connected 6-manifolds

M

which look like complete intersections, i.e.,

H^{2} (M; m a t h b b Z) = m a t h b b Z c d o t x

with

x^{3} e 0

. We give generators, and relations for the subgroup acting trivially on

p i_{3} (M)

. We also prove some algebraic properties of the mapping class group, like for example we compute the abelianization and the center. We show that modulo the center the mapping class group is residually finite and virtually torsion-free. We also study low dimensional homology groups. The results are very similar to the computation of the mapping class group of Riemann surfaces.
