Consider the overall balanced chemical equation:
Ni(NO3)2·6H2O + 2 NaY + 2 PPh3 + 6 HC(OC2H5)3 → [NiY2(PPh3)2] + 2 NaNO3 + 12 C2H5OH + 6 HC(O)OC2H5
where Ph = C6H5 and Y = SCN or NCS (ambidentate ion).
MW of Ni(NO3)2·6H2O = 290.8 g/mol
MW of NaSCN= 81.07 g/mol
MW of PPh3= 262.3 g/mol
MW of [NiY2(PPh3)2] (Y = SCN or NCS) = 699.5 g/mol
